The libmodulemd library, used by the Module Build Service, libdnf, fedmod and other tools is going to be updated this week to version 2.0.0beta1. While this includes a soname bump, the Fedora packaging will include a compat-libmodulemd1 (and python3-compat-libmodulemd1) subpackage that is fully compatible with the 1.x API. I do not expect any problematic fallout from this upgrade and existing tools should continue to work fine until they can be ported to the newer API.
This will mean that anyone building against libmodulemd today will need to change their spec files to indicate `BuildRequires: compat-libmodulemd1-devel` to continue using the 1.0 API. The 2.0 API is considerably more user-friendly and better documented [1]. I strongly encourage any project that is consuming libmodulemd to move to this new API as soon as possible. I will be maintaining the 1.0 compat library through Fedora 30, but I intend to retire it from Fedora 31 soon after the branch occurs.
