Comment #1 on issue 770 by erik.corry: Please stabilize the SONAME
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=770
Since V8 is a C++ library the interface is very fragile. It can break very
easily.
The only way to update V8 without updating the SONAME would be to have a
reliable way to test whether the API was still compatible with the last
version. That could be done by altering test.py or making another script
that can:
* Build the C++ based tests using shared libraries
* Do this for two versions, the current one and the SONAME version
* Run the tests with the executables from the current version and the .so
files from the SONAME version (probably using LD_LIBRARY_PATH - see 'man
ld.so').
I don't expect to have time to do this.
