There special case was also described: they're not going to use any new interfaces at all and want the library version to not change just because some obtuse part of the library has a structure with a new size that they're not using. I actually suspect more people fall into that boat than people that will make use of the new structure directly in their application. I just think most people don't mind recompiling as much as third party commercial products running on an OS which just distributed a new version of net-snmp. Fundamentally, our messing with a library version number requires third party tool providers of a operating system to redistribute new software to all their existing customers. (granted, our bending a free project's version to the will of companies making money and not releasing their source would be even odder ;-) -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
