ABI Laboratory: Check the history of ABI+API backward compatibility in libraries
- badsectoracula 9y agoI found this site while looking at GNU libmicrohttpd's announcement of a new version. As someone who gives very high importance to backwards compatibility, both from an API and an ABI perspective, this site gives me a quick look over which libraries i can expect to remain stable and which not (e.g. Cairo is fully backwards compatible back to 2006[1], so chances are it'll remain stable in the future. On the other hand imgui doesn't look very stable [2]...). Also found some unexpected stuff, like this Mesa WTF...
