Hi,
Hello Andres.
Are there notes for the session?
Yes, but not posted yet. Here’s what Andreas 'ads' Scherbaum sent me for that
bit of the conversation:
* Core is focused on core ABI stability
* David: No "statement of stability" in Core
* David/Jeremy/Tom: coding guidelines, style guidelines
* useful to have docs in core about what's stable and what's not, what
you should compile against or not, and ABI guarantees
* Abigale: there are hooks, but no overall concept for extensions
* Tom: Peter Eisentraut is working on tests for extensions stability
* Jeremy: nothing is preventing people from installing incompatible versions
The full "discussion" is here:
