Ummm. What makes you think that this isn't what he has done between every minor release? He's at major 0 and there have been incompatible changes between 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and now 0.5 That's why we WANT to link statically against libdivecomputer > Role models are OpenSSL (pre-1.0), ICU, Boost, etc. "Role models" is such an odd term in this context :-) /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@hohndel.org http://lists.hohndel.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
