Hi Daniel,
This has been explained many times in the past. This is an API and ABI
breakage, I just Can't Do That , at least not for libxml2, and there is
no plan for libxml3.
In a way it is strange that an open source library can be just as
constrained as a closed source library in this way.
I believe that FreeType changed its API last year, which involved fixing
many dependent packages. The Linux kernel seems to change its API every
few minutes, but I guess userspace is largely insulated from the churn
by sticking to the POSIX parts of glibc.
How do other projects deal with this issue?
Michael
