Ummm.. don't we have have symbol versioning? isn't this exactly what symbol versioning is for? I haven't been following this particular discussion, but I thought now that we have symbol versioning in the tree that we never have to bump the numbers? or is this failure to have a proper document to tell someone what to do when they change the API and provide the correct hooks for the new versions? -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
