[fluid-dev] SONAME Bump?

[David Henningsson]

As reported in ticket #98, FluidSynth 1.1.4 dropped one symbol. However, 
this symbol (fluid_defsfont_get_sample) is not part of the public API, 
so no programs should use it anyway.

I don't know how much of a big deal this is, really. Can you help me 
determine that, and the proper action for it?

Is it something that alone calls for a new release (1.1.5) or can we 
just update svn? What implications does bumping the SONAME have?

IMO, the ideal would be if we could tell gcc to stop exporting all 
symbols that are not part of the public API. Then we would get rid of 
this problem altogether. Is that possible?
