Compatibility boundary

Compatible source, explicit identity.

FreeBASIC-NG targets source compatibility with its upstream base, FreeBASIC’s 1.20.0 development line. It is an independent project, not an official upstream release.

It does not claim ABI compatibility with arbitrary FreeBASIC distributions. Package managers should treat it as an alternative compiler distribution.
