Apparently so. If the API doesn't change there's no reason to bump the version number. Actually I should say ABI (API is the C-level interface, ABI is the object-level interface). If some internal gettext structure changes, the ABI may change without the API changing. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
