Hi all,

This changes ABI and we should establish a generic way to error when making a new release and forgetting to update the LIBVERSION. I can think of doing:

• Modify configure.ac to check the version number and error if a LIBVERSION change is pending.
• Use #error in the header file when the XXX version is changed?

the current proposal is to introduce a process that will create a new file in the root of a project where we document the ABI changes. The content of the file will look like this:

#library what description / commit summary line
