Package: grib-api
Version: 1.9.0-2
Severity: normal

Hello,

version 1.9.5 is available.

The initial package (including forward porting and testing all Debian
patches) is already at http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/gribapi.git

Although 1.9.5 is API-stable as usual, an initial test deployment of
1.9.5 has shown an ABI stability issue, where several constants have
changed value.

For example, grib_api.h in 1.9.0 has:

  #define GRIB_NOT_FOUND          -11

but 1.9.5 has:

  #define GRIB_NOT_FOUND          -10

Upstream has been notified.

I have postponed uploading to unstable because of the freeze, and I
intend to do the upload once squeeze releases.

In the meantime, I'll also have to engineer some plan for transitioning
to the new ABI. :-/


Ciao,

Enrico
