Apache Thrift 0.15.0 compatibility with 0.13.0

I'm upgrading my Apache Thrift from version 0.13.0 to 0.15.0 because of vulnerability CVE-2020-13949. But I need to comunicate with another system using Thrift that I'm not managing and couldn't upgrade to that new version. My question: Does the new version 0.15.0 have backwards compatibility with 0.13.0? And how to know about that, where could I ask for compatibility?

There's two answers to your first question

• Wire format: Yes it is backwards compatible, has not changed.
• Source code: There may be breaking changes depending on the target language(s) you are using.

And for the second part:

• Apache Thrift mailing lists
• Change log 0.15.0
• Change log 0.14.2
• Change log 0.14.1
• Change log 0.14.0
