Sleepycat could use a stable api, or let me put it this way: don't f*cking break

Sleepycat and CollabNet Open Source Collaboration Posted Feb 8, 2006 1:38 UTC (Wed) by elanthis (guest, #6227) [Link] Do they break API? I've been under the impression that the API is pretty darn stable. Even the ABI is stable, as I understand.
It's the database format that keeps breaking.

Sleepycat and CollabNet Open Source Collaboration Posted Feb 11, 2006 4:09 UTC (Sat) by zblaxell (subscriber, #26385) [Link] It's more like every minor release has an *entirely new* ABI, complete with C preprocessor tricks to add the current version number to every symbol in the library. On a good day this means you can link multiple versions dynamically into your executable. On a bad day this means you absolutely cannot link against some random shared library version, only the specific version your application was compiled with.
