Something like libapr-dev-1.so? I really appreciate that you want to take care of that, but this would only help on Unix, on other platforms I think it's too complicated/impossible to do such protection, or...? > This would prevent production applications from linking against a > (potentially) unstable code point. hmm, I feel a bit that sometimes you wanna be too perfect; I think that often ASF alpha code is better than what others call releases, and in the httpd-2.0 alpha phase there were even a few already using it in production... I believe that the code becomes quicker more stable if people start using it; and often the user stresses the software in another way then what the developer might imagine... Guen.
