GNOME promises API/ABI stability for its stable versions. Quoting Dave from IRC: "<dwmw2> it's not an API that's deliberately made available for the public to use, although yes it's public." However the performance improvement clearly outweighs this very local API addition, so another +1. I wonder if this should come with an SONAME bump and a notification to distributor-list@ just to be on the safe side (to avoid a distro packagers mob with forks and torches in front of your house), but if I'm just paranoid and don't understand the use of soname well enough (/me not being a developer), please ignore me. :) andre PS: The coding style of the commit looks slightly inconsistent [function_name(param) vs function_name (param)] but that's not my problem. -- mailto:[email protected] | failed http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team Release-team lurker?
