Any ideas for binary compatibility for the "micro" revisions? I recently discovered that a library compiled against 1.8.3 would core dump when used with an application compiled against 1.8.5. Operationally, not a big deal, really; I just recompiled the lib, but emotionally, it did give me that sinking feeling for a while, of maybe having yet another hard-to-find bug, or a system I cannot fully trust. :-(
The first question is if there was a shlib minor version bump. But, if it were the other way around it would be bad. It is not expected in general that you can use older libraries than what you built against. But, building against 1.8.3 and then updating to 1.8.5 should be ok.
