Interface version is part of the rev. When this changes in core it is gen a build break. Interface 6 rev's are not compatable with interface 7 simulators. Thay both are .71dev rev's though.
There are alot of changes in the structure when it changes. You can see what interface number you have when you type in 'Show Version' in the region server console. That number matters alot and changes should be reviewed when its bumped up.

For instance one of the changes is to the presence table. It now clears that data on its own and also a migration was done and another feild added 'LastSeen'. Other things were done as well in the way sieralazaion is handled and the way xml's are parsed.
If 3rd party addons depend on things like this, they will fail.

I only mention some of the changes and am not saying this is causing problems with the addons just yet. I havent had time to look thru it well yet.

It is usefull when someone reports a problem to also include the interface version to. Just saying .71Dev is not as usefull at saying .71Dev Interface 6 or .71Dev interface 7.. When provided it is easy to tell if there has been a major change by core.
