The real issue is the gratuitous/frivolous SONAME bump when there are only API additions. Users and distributors are forced to recompile everything unnecessarily and this can be painful (especially for the latter). Certainly, detecting whether a particular change leads to an ABI break is not always easy, and not bumping the SONAME when there are incompatible changes does far more harm. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
