question: are there breaking changes in 1.15?

[NeilHanlon]

Hello :) I maintain the whatsup package in Fedora and EPEL, and received a request[1] to update to 1.15 in EPEL 9. EPEL Policy [2] is to not move too quickly, and given as there has been quite some time between 1.14 and 1.15, I wanted to check in and see what--if any--breaking changes there may be between 1.14 and 1.15. The diff [3] between branches does not seem to suggest any such changes, but I wanted to be extra sure.

Best,
Neil Hanlon

Hi Neil, there shouldn't be any API / breaking changes. With the minor exception that the "OpenIB" up/down plugin has been removed b/c that no longer worked on newer versions of OpenIB. I don't believe you were building that for Fedora, so shouldn't matter for you.

Thanks for the info and for the maintenance of whatsup :)

@chu11 - Can you clarify on the OpenIB up/down plugin? Do you know about what versions of openib/libibcommon it stopped working?

I went looking, and libibcommon hasn't had a release in some time, so even though we have been building the openib plugin, I'm guessing it just has not worked?
