The social network elaborated on those points in a post on its developer blog, saying that if any changes are made to those core products, it will continue to support previous versions for at least two years, and reminding developers that versioning gives them more control over how they upgrade different instances in their apps to take advantage of the latest features in the Facebook platform.
