I can't see any good reason to break it for this release. Only new 
features have been added to the protocol. Until I fixed keepalives and 
enabled them in my config, the new clients were working fine with my 0.09 
server. Likewise, I can't see any reason that a 0.10 server shouldn't work 
with 0.09 clients in any configuration.

Cheers, Chris.
