=== {es} Version Compatibility

Language clients are forward compatible; meaning that clients support communicating with greater or equal minor versions of {es}.
57-
{es} language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and without guarantees made.

The language clients are forward compatible; meaning that the clients support
57+
communicating with greater or equal minor versions of {es} without breaking. It
58+
does not mean that the clients automatically support new features of newer
59+
{es} versions; it is only possible after a release of a new client version. For
60+
example, a 8.12 client version won't automatically support the new features of
61+
the 8.13 version of {es}, the 8.13 client version is required for that. {es}
62+
language clients are only backwards compatible with default distributions and
63+
without guarantees made.
