Abstract
The subject disclosure relates to enabling the evolution of a framework by providing public surface area factorings for both old and new public surface areas. The factoring can mitigate changes in the implementation of existing distributions of framework. The factoring can also mitigate breaking existing binaries. Further, the factoring can be provided while mitigating a degradation in the security guarantees of the linking model. The factorings can be applied for runtime and/or for a development toolkit. Thus, multiple, almost simultaneous, interoperable views of a framework implementation can be enabled at runtime and/or at design or build time. The views can represent different versions of the framework.
