[Fribidi-discuss] CVS brakes binary compatibility?

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Dear Beni,

This is the reason I have not released the HEAD branch yet.  The 
idea is that the next release will be 1.0, with any major and 
minor changes.  The rationale behind is that now that we are 
breaking binary compatiblity, lets do whatever we need/want.
