Surprisingly, there hasn't yet been a protocol change since 0.21
release... even svn is still at 40:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/branches/release-0-21-fixes/mythtv/libs/libmyth/mythcontext.h
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/libs/libmyth/mythcontext.h

But to answer your question directly, I believe the intent of each
-fixes branch is to hold steady at a particular protocol version.
You should be good to go.
