-BETA WARNING

|
-============
|

|

|
|
-This package is a beta. This means that API may change in an
|
|
|
|
-incompatible way in the future (however, the wire format will *not*
|
|
|
|
-change). It's unlikely that any big changes will be made, but we can
|
|
|
|
-make no promises. Expect a non-beta release in late August 2008.

+Binary Compatibility Warning
|
|
|
|
+============================
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Due to the nature of C++, it is unlikely that any two versions of the
|
|
|
|
+Protocol Buffers C++ runtime libraries will have compatible ABIs.
|
|
|
|
+That is, if you linked an executable against an older version of
|
|
|
|
+libprotobuf, it is unlikely to work with a newer version without
|
|
|
|
+re-compiling. This problem, when it occurs, will normally be detected
|
|
|
|
+immediately on startup of your app. Still, you may want to consider
|
|
|
|
+using static linkage. You can configure this package to install
|
|
|
|
+static libraries only using:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+ ./configure --disable-shared
