4.9 Incompatible changes ¶
Incompatible changes to Gnulib modules should be mentioned in Gnulib’s
NEWS file. Incompatible changes here mean that existing source code
may not compile or work any more.
We don’t mean changes in the binary interface (ABI), since
- Gnulib code is used in source-code form.
- The user who distributes libraries that contain Gnulib code is supposed to
bump the version number in the way described in the Libtool documentation
before every release.
