title: Jackson v2.10.2 compatibility with v2.9.8?
body: <p>My codebase is a monolith one and a lot of different small projects are using the following mentioned jackson libraries; If I change the parent pom all of these numerous projects will be affected - hence it is important for me to know the backward compatibility of these libraries and impact of their upgrade.</p>
  
  <p>Is the <code>v2.10.2</code> of the following jackson libraries : </p>
  
  <pre><code>jackson-core
  jackson-annotations
  jackson-module-jaxb-annotations
  jackson-module-paranamer
  jackson-module-afterburner
  jackson-databind
  jackson-dataformat-xml
  jackson-dataformat-csv
  jackson-dataformat-cbor
  jackson-dataformat-smile
  jackson-datatype-jdk8
  jackson-dataformat-yaml
  jackson-module-scala_2.11
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>backward compatible with their <code>v2.9.8</code> version ? What is the best way to find that out?
  I tried to find out about this online but I could only find explanations between upgrading <code>v1.x</code> to <code>v2.x</code>. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.</p>
