Sjoerd, fellow developers,

I just realize the following:

(at least) due to my recent changes, (at least) MonetDB4 & MonetDB5 in the
Aug2009 release branch (most probably) do no longer compile with an earlier
version of MonetDB common (GDK), mainly because I added (for convenience)
the assert_shift_width() C macro to gdk.mx/gdk.h .

It could well be, that binary build of the latest versions of MonetDB4 &
MonetDB5 still work with binary builds of earlier versions of MonetDB common
(GDK); at least I'm not aware of any interface changes.

Hence, unless we remove the assert_shift_width() C macro, again (and
implement its functionlity differently), we'd need to make the upcoming
MonetDB-4.32.0 and MonetDB-5.14.0 requiring MonetDB-1.32.0. However, this
also changes the dependencies for the binaries.

Well, given our regular release cycle, and Windows installers and super
source balls that contain "everything", anyway, I don't expect too many
users that would like to upgrade only M4 or M5 or sql, while keeping the
"old" GDK ...

Hence, to be on the save side, I'd propose to update all dependecies in the
Aug2009 branch to require part from that very branch (and possibly introduce
this as a standard procedure, unless/until we indeed do partial releases).

Any thoughs, comments, objections?

Thanks!

Stefan
