Danek,
If the pkg_client_name value is now being ignored, it seems that a program that was working correctly before this change will not continue to work correctly after the change. That doesn't seem to be compatible. To make the program work correctly after the change, a statement would have to be inserted that sets the pkg.client.global_settings.client_name.

Can't the pkg_client_name argument be used to set the global_settings value?

If it's not too much trouble could you briefly document the change in (client_)?api_versions.txt?

It appears to still be api_versions.txt.  Here's the text I have; let me
know if you think it needs changing.

    Version 6:
    Compatible with clients using versions 1-5.
    Changes:
        Ignore the pkg_client_name parameter passed to api.ImageInterface().
        This data is now pulled from pkg.client.global_settings.client_name.

Thanks,
Danek
