Subject: Re: [Help-gsl] Submitted patch to add bspline derivative	capabilities
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:25:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3d4g6jvsg.wl%bjg@network-theory.co.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081129214241.GA15002@hippogriff.homeunix.org>

I noticed a problem when preparing the new release.  The extra entries
in the bspline derivatives workspace break binary compatibility.

This isn't necessarily a huge problem, but it seems undesirable to
force an upgrade of all applications just for those two struct
entries.  If we're going to break binary compatibility we may as well
do it for all other functions that need it at the same time.

So I'd propose using a separate workspace for the derivative functions
in this release.

See e.g.  branch bspline-compat at http://src.network-theory.com/gsl.git/
which is basically finished, I just need to add some error checking.
