An example could be: > /* Version 2.2.0 */ > #define LIBUPSCLIENT_VERSION 200200000L Since I'm preparing 2.2.1, I will add a typedef to manage the backward compat. I've fixed it in the subversion trunk and Testing branches. A last question: what is your use of this (wmnut or something else)? Thanks for the report.
