Please remember to copy the list on all replies. While providing a stable library for other applications to use is a long-term goal we've still got a fair amount of work to do before we can support it. Until then we make absolutely no API or ABI stability guarantees for the shared libraries: On the contrary, we plan extensive API changes and internal redesigns that will substantially affect ABI as well.
Because of the long-standing ability to write custom reports in Guile we will mark as deprecated changes in the Scheme API, including wrapped C/C++ functions. Deprecated functions will be removed at the subsequent major release, meaning that any Scheme function that raises a deprecation warning in 4.x will be removed in 5.0. No such warnings will be made for C/C++ API nor for the Python bindings.
