Why do you get the problem with linking? A major release in KDE Applications is every 4 months, not every year. So, unless you guarantee that you only plan to make ABI breaking changes in the xx.04 cycles and not in the xx.08 or the xx.12 ones, this system doesn't make much sense -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
