Compatibility and Legacy

Due to the innovations added with this update, older versions will not support some parts of the standard library and the compiler will be outdated to compile from source. Changes such as exceptions, integrated testing and assertions have also been implemented in the standard library. For this reason, older versions are in legacy status because they do not have new error handling approaches.
