[Engine-devel] planned changes for api capabilities resource

[Geert Jansen]

Hi Michael,

two questions:

Can you elaborate on why you think there's no backwards compatibility 
issues?

In your proposal, are you leaving /api/capabilites in place as it is 
now? If not how to you enumerate the different versions?

Regards,
Geert
