As it does not break API/ABI I won't surely bump so version major. So you are proposing to bump the "visible" (from user prospective) major version (the 0.35). As a user I would ask "what's the big leap in this new version after 10 years?". A reply "we removed support for a protocol we superseded 10 years ago" does not sound that exiting. On the other hand we got Linux 4.x because 30 was a too big number so I suppose is just question of opinions. > > > Cheers, > > > Lukas > > > Frediano _______________________________________________ Spice-devel mailing list Spice-devel@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/spice-devel
