    In your mouth it sound like that it going never appear in Sword.
    Patch only add parameter with default value to one public function.
    There is no problem to revert and make some work in private part of
    class so it will be absolutely abi compatible.


This conversation has strayed far from the actual bounds of 1.7.2
release, but I just want to say here that unless a change is both
identical in API and ABI to 1.7.0 I won't be including it in the
sword-1-7-x branch. No new functions, no changing signatures, no new
classes, etc. Any changes like that will have to wait for the next
branch release. sword-1-7-x is strictly bug-fix only.

To my knowledge, new functions, classes, and member functions don't break ABI compatibility. They should be fine for maintenance releases.
