Well, it is, but not that important compared to some other things. 
Also note even if we keep 100% binary compatibility, there are many 
many changes in there since 0.2.0 that will only get effective with a 
new game started from scratch. E.g. many masking bugs in MonkeyVGA 
will only go away if you start a new game - if you use an old save 
game, you'll keep all of the bugs.

A regression from my recent change (clip text instead of drawing it 
out of bounds), working on a fix.

That's for the SDL backend of course, could be different for other 
backends, couldn't it?
