Just trying to figure out what to expect. Hello, Jumping in, let me outline the question a little bit more extensively: Let's assume I found that there is ABI breakage when upgrading libfoo from efl 1.8 to libfoo from efl 1.15 while both releases of libfoo shared the same soname. i.e. a binary built against libfoo-efl1.8 will stop working correctly when libfoo is upgraded to libfoo-efl1.15. If I reported a bug about this issue would you consider it to be release-critical and would you resolve it by either fixing the ABI breakage or bumping the soname? (Obviously this implies that I generally would not usually find such issues, since making sure that ABI breakage is avoided would be part of the release process.) cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
