Hi Frank,

gtkpod compiled with libgpod 0.3.2 will NOT run with libgpod 0.4.0. Most 
likely even compilation would not work.

We've been discussing this issue internally but decided that for the 
time being we won't bother with changing the soname because the API 
hasn't really stabilized yet.

Cheers,


JCS.
