Hi Kevin, Sven, I released 2.0.2 to a) get the security fix incorporated, and b) get translations released. I don't understand the code and I was strictly just making the release.
If I bumped the soname, I've ****ed up. Binary compatibility has not changed. I'm not sure how I did it, though: Index: configure.in =================================================================== RCS file: /cvs/gnome/libgtop/configure.in,v retrieving revision 1.88.4.22.2.21 retrieving revision 1.88.4.22.2.34 diff -u -r1.88.4.22.2.21 -r1.88.4.22.2.34 --- configure.in 13 Jan 2003 02:57:51 -0000 1.88.4.22.2.21 +++ configure.in 11 May 2003 14:36:23 -0000 1.88.4.22.2.34 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ LIBGTOP_MAJOR_VERSION=2 LIBGTOP_MINOR_VERSION=0 -LIBGTOP_MICRO_VERSION=1 +LIBGTOP_MICRO_VERSION=2 LIBGTOP_VERSION=$LIBGTOP_MAJOR_VERSION.$LIBGTOP_MINOR_VERSION.$LIBGTOP_MICRO_VERSION AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(libgtop, $LIBGTOP_VERSION) LIBGTOP_INTERFACE_AGE=1 @@ -286,7 +286,7 @@ AC_CHECK_FUNCS(getcwd gettimeofday getwd putenv strdup strtoul uname) dnl ## 'es_ES' is only needed for format numbers different of 'es' -ALL_LINGUAS="az be bg ca cs da de el es es_ES fi fr ga gl hu ja ko lv ms nl nn no pl pt pt_BR ru sk sl sv tr uk vi zh_CN zh_TW" +ALL_LINGUAS="am ar az be bg ca cs da de el es es_ES et fa fi fr ga gl he hu id it ja ko lv mk ml mn ms nl nn no pl pt pt_BR ro ru sk sl sr [EMAIL PROTECTED] sv tr uk vi zh_CN zh_TW" GETTEXT_PACKAGE=libgtop-2.0 AC_SUBST(GETTEXT_PACKAGE) ... and those are the only changes in configure.in. Kevin, could you look at this? I don't know how the soname changed, so don't know how to fix it. I'm lame. Sorry, guys. Please keep me informed.
