<h1>API<a class="headerlink" href="#api" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>hg-review takes Mercurial’s approach to API stability:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>The command line interface is fairly stable and will not break often.</li>
<li>File formats will not change often.</li>
<li>The internal implementation may change frequently – there are no guarantees
of stability.</li>
</ul>
<p>Providing a stable CLI means that (possibly non-GPL) programs can interact with
hg-review easily without fear of constant breaking.</p>
<p>Stable file formats mean that older versions of hg-review will be able to work
with review data from newer versions (albeit with reduced functionality).</p>
<p><em>Not</em> providing a stable internal implementation allows hg-review’s code to be
kept clean and elegant. It means that Python programs will needs to use
subprocesses to avoid breaking, but this is a tradeoff that the author feels is
worth making.</p>
