Re: GNU Radio ABI guarantees

[Nate Temple]

Hi Thomas,

Please see the younger Marcus' email here where he covers the development model when GR was switched to semantic versioning.

"the third being the "ABI" digit, meaning that as long as the first three
digit stay the same, you can just replace one libgnuradio*.so with
another one without rebuilding your binary (that's a feature that I
think software distributors will be most happy about)"

What are the ABI guarantees between GNU Radio releases?

I'm drafting a GREP on modernizing the C++ code[1], so started wondering about this.

If a minor release, once released, only gets backported fixes from master, then this should not be an issue.
