Hello,
Does anyone have any good ways to check that updates to -version-info
numbers accurately reflect the actual changes in the API of a library
when making a new release?
Currently I do this by (1) comparing 'nm' output against the old
library to find any added/deleted functions (2) manually inspecting a
diff of the header files (3) looking at the accumulated NEWS/Changelog
entries for possible changes in semantics.
I am open to suggestions for reducing human error... thanks.
