That is true, but only thanks to the major bump. Otherwise, we may have thousands of simple distro users who taks the responsibility to install FFmpeg as shared libraries in /usr/local/, making all the distro application using it. I have no idea if that use case is frequent or not, but neither does Ronald. > Still, the change of policy and its consequences should be clearly stated. Hear, hear. Thank you. And by the way, if we decide to drop ABI compatibility, the mature thing to do would be to avoid the SONAME conflict by changing the naming scheme. Regards, -- Nicolas George
