It's been a long time now (LTN) since our last release, perhaps we
should do a new one soon? Also, in an effort to please everyone
(ETPE), I was thinking we should separate the release numbering from
the SO version numbering, at least on the unstable branch as long as
there are no ABI changes. This should be really easy as we just need
to define
INTERFACE_VERSION
in the top-level makefile. So
Base/Gui unstable release:
Subminor release (1.19.X) - bug fixes or API changes
increase subminor version
interface version does not change
Minor release (1.X.0) - API changes and bug fixes
increase minor version
interface version does not change
Minor or Major release (1.X.0 or X.0.0) - ABI and API changes
increase version
increase interface version to match.
Base/Gui stable release:
Subminor release (1.18.X) - bug fixes only
increase subminor version
interface version does not change
Minor release (1.X.0) - ABI, API changes and bug fixes
increase minor version
interface version changes to match
Minor or Major release (1.X.0 or X.0.0) - ABI and API changes
increase version
increase interface version to match.
