Hallöchen!
Meanwhile, this thread was cited elsewhere, which thwarts my
original intention of ignoring it.

The lensfun library has a stable and well-documented API. If we
make changes, we follow the established procedures of obsolescence.
And even that has not been necessary so far. Moreover, we address
bugs very quickly.
Other programs like Darktable, Digikam, UFRaw, and rawstudio use
lensfun successfully, and never have complained about lensfun being
a moving target. So, for the sake of fairness to a fellow open
source project, please do not post such discrediting and vague
statements without evidence.
Tschö,
Torsten.
