don`t bother with binary compatibility!!
I came to the conclusion that the best way of fixing the bug is by overriding the virtual function conjugate() in class mul. This also retains binary compatibility.
Next release will be 1.6.0 and by convention people will (or have to) expect that if the minor number changes there might be an ABI breakage.
And I'll make it a habit to announce ABI breaks in the release announcement, so no surprises.
What is the reason for a new ABI version? I just checked and found that current HEAD is still compatible with GiNaC 1.5.0. Putting on my distributor's hat, I hate the trouble caused by new SONAME versions. -richy. -- Richard B. Kreckel <http://www.ginac.de/~kreckel/>
