Sure, but the 1.5.X releases were just beta releases and shouldn't have been used publically, and so we don't really make any guarantees wrt sonames. i.e. we may break binary compatibility without bumping the sonames at times, etc. The reason for the decrement is that Thien-Thi asked that I add some (libtool) "AGE" to the libraries and that seemed reasonable so I did. This decremented the major number. -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org, @linuxdevel.com, and @debian.org Previously @cs.utexas.edu GPG=1C58 8B2C FB5E 3F64 EA5C 64AE 78FE E5FE F0CB A0AD _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
