Software synthesizer based on the SoundFont 2 specifications

Previously, functions that were just used internally in FluidSynth were still visible to users of the library. No application should ever use them anyway, as they were only visible at the ABI level, and not listed in the public API headers. The big question here is whether this requires a major library bump. I've been trying to inform myself by looking around the Internet but I haven't come to a conclusion. E g, the libtool manual just says "interfaces" without specifying whether they mean API or ABI. From a pragmatic standpoint, I'm leaning towards *not* bumping the major library version, because doing so is a major pain for Linux distributions: they will have to make one "libfluidsynth1" and one "libfluidsynth2" package, and in turn update everything using that library to depend on libfluidsynth2 instead of libfluidsynth1. Sure, there is a risk that some software out there is using one of these hidden symbols. But I'd say that risk is quite low. And if they are, they're broken anyway. In short, I prefer being nice to our downstreams, over being nice to terribly broken hacky applications that probably don't even exist. Signed-off-by: David Henningsson <diwic@ubuntu.com> |
