What a strange reasoning. Do they really believe that ABIs don't change when bumping the library version from 0.9.8 to 1.0.0 ? OpenSSL's history w/r to backwards compatibility up until 0.9.7 wasn't the greatest, but since 0.9.8 it has gotten to a level that's very reliable. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Mar 24 2014) >>> Python Projects, Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope/Plone.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2014-03-29: PythonCamp 2014, Cologne, Germany ... 5 days to go 2014-04-09: PyCon 2014, Montreal, Canada ... 16 days to go 2014-04-29: Python Meeting Duesseldorf ... 36 days to go eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
