The upstream changes suggest it might not be that hard. After looking at the relevant changes in biber, I think the whole compatibility situation is very brittle.

Somebody who uses biber needs to figure out what should be done with biber-2.5 and test it. --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAll+ZBkACgkQJkb6MLrK fwiBVRAAyHQ0zP++suZL3I6agyH6/gubY5DnZBgxeZospNjp2w/8Aiu7hmfWJVd1 WIEgsdioNMQVA6WIYSgBl4770VGG7EU1GD5jyr9g0Os/5+nhrEQ+ST9epChMk8R3 cWBrteDIXqUN5VY0FHkPeanu3r7+ZlGdnzFkH/LnDZetQwsiMWWkY5VeMXWcB60d rwuHHCFf2cdQQN83tG2BtusdI5pL/Jpx0DkMfh1KS8F4Zt0YjzVuhla8EM2UfoJr rPofoKDk55mADzJ8KhpnEgBJR/TiRWolT9P3+31jgeE0UEm4/TkyUhJYWjqxM03d 4f0lyZs3CknKuAXgMUPDwTRZRNehKCzeSwJtX52umZ5IzYiYWrfojfK5DQJax6K9 UmpPvvthjWe0kuIRfDSHveHJm1rQlXViuAS4svmBlJI7E+4cFuh8uEPIfg5Y1pOB 3Z6H73EGXSsPR8NFNnFJexub5hGIbLQPfnYYadspz2X/bRqmewK4ztGbXC2ZBATd MxV8JNI7k6q0hlt2fzrkeng4RFx11dBlxrSlyAVo8WulujNdEvuRqPKmxK+TkOjH Oqob6J7+WtQd24JLY0174p77YFqSkLl4iDOF1dltmXNBkHKBLr8HM2ckwxswFJRB Pr1H7ea3KhJ95vg4nEkQ8M8yAi2nELUjZ4nAHfuoScmN/M+LVCA= =OqaL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --NzB8fVQJ5HfG6fxh--
