Hi,
I guess a minor at least.
I did not add, remove or change the structure of the function, I simply
made it available to modules. Does that warrant a major bump?
Never a major - that is reserved for changing the signature of functions
or members of structures that are catastrophic for previously compiled
modules. This is not one of those :)
The previous absence of these exports was simply a bug, I don't see
a reason to bump the version minor for bug fixing.
If users were looking to determine compatibility, e.g. on the 2.4 released
branch, I might have another opinion, but during trunk development, we
fix it and move on. A previously compiled module simply wouldn't have
any insight on these functions so correcting it doesn't break what they
were already aware of
Thanks Christophe for bringing it up.
Thanks Bill and Rüdiger for the answer. I was sure it was not a major
bump yet was foggy on the minor. My feeling on it was as Bill stated in
his last sentence above.
