Are you asking about ABI stability? If so, you should run your library (qwt pre-patch and qwt post-patch) through abi-checking tools. I've used abi-compliance-checker before with great success. I THINK your virtual-function updates don't break the ABI, although I can't be certain. The update in src/qwt_picker_machine.h definitely DOES break the ABI however.
