Red Hat has traditionally bumped the major version number whenever binary compatibility was broken (ie. a gcc or glibc change). Psyche was numbered 8.0 because the move to gcc 3 broke binary compatibility with the 7.* series. In the case of the change to 9 it has been suggested that one reason is that the move to the new thread system has caused some problems and hence binary compatibility has been broken as a result. -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
