[libvirt] [PATCH] post-release patch for symbols

Assuming we release a 0.5.1 soon. Maybe the code with threading should be on a 0.6.0 considering the amount of changes though.

Better to put it inside comments for now, because we don't really want an empty linker version section to be picked up unless we actually add new public symbols in this release.

If I understood the previous conversation correctly, these thread-safe changes are necessary for the Java bindings DomainEvent code. Do we really want those bindings to fall that far behind? -----Original Message----- From: libvir-list-bounces@redhat.com on behalf of Daniel Veillard Sent: Tue 12/2/2008 5:30 AM To: libvir-list@redhat.com Subject: [libvirt] [PATCH] post-release patch for symbols Assuming we release a 0.5.1 soon.

I agree the java event support is pending the thread safe changes. When I suggested 0.6.0 that could be as well the next release (or the one just after).
