Thanks for the new release, we are working on packaging it for Debian.

We found out that perhaps the ABI is incompatible (changes to structs)
or even API incompatible, since some variable/macro names seem to have
changed.

In this case, if we upload the new version, packages compiled against
previous versions which were not recompiled can crash.  Packages
within Debian we can manage to rebuild against the new version, but
imagine people installing 3rd party applications/games, e.g. from,
Steam and using Debian.  (Did you receive any complaints about that?)


So in principle we would be forced to bump to SOVERSION/NAME ourselves
ahead of upstream, but it would be nicer to stay in sync.  Would you
mind to release 2.0.5 soon, with a bumped SOVERSION/NAME?


Cheers and thanks in advance.
