Please see http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1980 This is my patch to remove the unwanted ABI changes from 3.9.0. I just went through all the CVS logs and found the changes committed by Joris around the time he made the fix. I then backported the changes to branch-3-9 in CVS. The changes were small, and I was able to hand-apply the patch without a problem. I rebuilt and then tested several applications built with 3.8.2 and run with the shared libraries from 3.9.0. Everything looks good. If this patch is accepted, I withdraw my objections against the release of 3.9.0 and would add my voice to those encouraging a speedy release. I'm really sorry I didn't just do this when I first noticed that Joris's changes had not been committed to the trunk. I'm sorry that this issue caused such a long delay in the release, but as I said before, I'm very grateful that Bob, Frank, Andrey, et al held off on making an ABI-breaking release with the same soname. -- Jay Berkenbilt <ejb@ql.org>
