Scala releases are usually not BINARY backwards compatible. Very different from SOURCE backwards compatible.

Scala also was often not source compatible during 2.7 -> 2.8 because of the huge changes in the standard library.

I'm pretty sure they'll never be doing that again though due to the mess it caused.
