	The versions v1.0x and v2.0x are compatible and outdated. The main difference with v2.5x is that the internal structure of AviSynth has changed (YV12 and multichannel support) with the consequence that external plugins compiled for v1.0x/v2.0x will not work for v2.5x/v2.6x and vice versa. In v2.6x other planar formats like YV24 and Y8 are added. v2.5x plugins will work in v2.6x but not vice-versa~~. All versions are incompatible with v3.x, which will also work under Linux/MacOSX (see [[AviSynth v3]]) and rely on the GStreamer API~~.		The versions v1.0x and v2.0x are compatible and outdated.
