Sorry for rewinding the thread to where it started. Provided that users can benefit from keeping the last stable release and an LTR both installed, do you think that this is up to the specific platform to handle this (OsGeo4W does it already) or a more general solution can be provided? The LTR will be on version 2 for several months, so I suggest the libraries could use a different namespace. Is this an acceptable solution? Are there alternatives. c
