But that's not the case now. that doesn't change the fact that a shared library must not break api or abi within the same major version. api/abi can be added in minor versions, but nothing can be removed or changed. > ASAP I'll remove libeconnman.so it will cease to exist.

Don't flip things upside down. why the resistance to live up to the responsibilities of a library author/maintainer? the responsibility is to maintain compatibility going forward until a major version bump. if there is no will to do that then either don't release a library. too late. it's released. this is something YOU specifically wanted very much. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
