Hi Marco, The global constants were changed to references to remove multiple memory leaks, therefore we need to bump the C++ interface number. I'm sorry for the inconvenience but it can't be avoided.

Question: - is it really needed to implement a new API bump for C++ interface ? The continuous API bump forces to maintain several legacy version of the library and/or to recompile every time the software depending on the library. Library API should be as stable as possible. Only ImageMagick is worst than HDF5 for the packages that I am managing for cygwin. > Larry Regards Marco _______________________________________________ Hdf-forum is for HDF software users discussion.
