Hi all, after a longer hiatus there is a new libdbi release available for download. This is merely a maintenance release which was requested by the Debian and Ubuntu packagers (see Bug#592447 in the Debian bug tracker). There are no end-user-visible changes compared to the previous release, so if you have 0.8.3 installed there are no benefits of installing the new version.
The following changes were implemented: - bumped the package version number to 0.8.4 - updated some autotools-related things in configure.in, autogen.sh, and Makefile.am (recent versions need AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR set properly, otherwise I wouldn't be able to bootstrap the build on my FreeBSD development box) - LIB_CURRENT=1, LIB_REVISION=0, LIB_AGE=0 - backported the --disable-docs behaviour fix in configure from HEAD Bumping up LIB_CURRENT was necessary due to backwards-incompatible changes in constants. We had planned to handle the library versioning thing appropriately starting with 0.9.0, but the Debian folks were eager to upgrade their (even more outdated) 0.8.2 packages to 0.8.3. This would have screwed up dozens of their packages unless the so name issue was fixed. Our greatly enhanced, all new and shiny 0.9.0 will be shipped real soon now (TM). However, the Debian folks have suggested a bunch of upstream patches which I'm inclined to include in the next release, so don't hang on the edges of your seats. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net Dev2Dev email is sponsored by: Show off your parallel programming skills.
