RE: [libxml++] Re: [xml] libxml version numbers

["Jesse Pelton" <jsp PKC com>]

Daniel was giving an example of something he would not guarantee.  With
that context, what he said was equivalent to, "I would not guarantee
that an application build [sic] and running with libxml2-2.6.9 will also
compile with 2.6.8 or will run correctly with 2.6.8 shared libs."  This
seems reasonable to me.  I think he'd argue that an app built with 2.6.8
would also work with 2.6.9, barring reliance on bugs in the earlier
version or the introduction of bugs in the later.
