However, that was on 19 December 2006, and 7.8 was released on 5 September 2008, nearly 4 years ago now. Nowadays, there is a reminder in the release instructions to make appropriate updates to the soname, something I did not understand before, so with luck this will not happen again. Given that nobody else has complained about this[*], I am not sure that it would be sensible to change the soname at this stage, because that would force many unnecessary re-links at the next release of PCRE, and I would hope that there are not many programs around that are still using pre-7.0 versions. However, if you disagree with me, feel free to re-open this bug and argue. [*] I've read the Ubuntu link you quoted. Why did they not pass something back to the PCRE maintainers in 2006? Back then I would certainly have made a change. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/pcre-dev
