2. Ensure you have incompatible add-ons installed.
3. Attempt to update to a newer alpha.

Actual behavior:

NVDA warns that incompatible add-ons are installed and will be disabled.

Expected behavior:

NVDA should not present this warning, as it is now supposed to be presented only when upgrading to a backwards incompatible API.
