You may also want to recompile any apps based on it, but this is not strictly necessary. Although different versions of libprotobuf.so are not binary-compatible (C++ sadly makes compatibility too difficult to achieve), we use libtool's version numbering to make sure that binary-incompatible versions of libprotobuf do not overwrite each other. So, any binaries you compiled against the old version will continue to use the old version at runtime. If you want to uninstall the old version, then run make uninstall from the same directory where you you ran make install to install it. Everything Kenton says above is, of course, true. Additionally, if you happen to be using Ubuntu, we keep up to date .debs of all the protobuf stuff in the Drizzle PPA (since we use them pretty heavily ourselves) http://launchpad.net/~drizzle-developers/+archive/ppa BTW, 2.2.0 will be out in the next week or two. A little off-topic - but do you have a cutoff date for patches to get in to that? I've still got some Sun Studio issues I've been working on a patch for that I'd love to be in 2.2.0...

Re: upgrade to latest release
thanks for the heads up, upgrading to 2.1.0 noticed that the c++ example now requires -lpthread, once I compile my application it will need to know about pthread also. is there a set of release notes that i need to be aware of, and also are there any patches against 2.1.0 that I may need, if so how do i find out what they are? will make uninstall take out all flavors of protocol buffer libraries (I used make install on top of a prior install and would like to remove the older version) thanks On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Kenton Varda ken...@google.com wrote: On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 4:14 AM, Sushil Shelly skshe...@gmail.com wrote: I need to upgrade a linux installation of protocol buffers.

Technically this was always needed, but on some systems the pthread mutex functions happen to be in the C library, so you could get away without it. 2.1.0 also uses pthread_once, though, which is not typically in the C library. is there a set of release notes that i need to be aware of, Just CHANGES.txt. and also are there any patches against 2.1.0 that I may need, if so how do i find out what they are? No, if there were critical problems we'd do another release to fix them. will make uninstall take out all flavors of protocol buffer libraries (I used make install on top of a prior install and would like to remove the older version) I'm not completely sure. make install installs a versioned library, then symlinks libprotobuf.so to the version lib. Installing a new version would update the symlink. Uninistalling the old version might delete the symlink. But if you uninstall the old and then re-install the new (just re-run make install) then everything should be good. thanks On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 2:22 PM, Kenton Varda ken...@google.com wrote: On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 4:14 AM, Sushil Shelly skshe...@gmail.comwrote: I need to upgrade a linux installation of protocol buffers.
