Hi,
from my point of view, as long as a new release of PoDoFo changes also
its soname version, which it does, the users of the library are require
to rebuild, thus API or ABI changes are not a hidden problem, they will
be discovered (in case of API changes) and taken care of (in case of
ABI changes).
I do not think PoDoFo was ever considered API/ABI stable between
releases, at least since I use it.
I mean, I'd definitely not block good changes due to API/ABI changes in
case of PoDoFo, because PoDoFo is missing the concept of development
and stable releases, which other projects use.
Bye,
zyx
