[CLN-list] CLN 1.2.2 released

[Bruno Haible]

Hi Richy,

> This release re-establishes binary compatibility with CLN-1.2.0 and

The binary compatibility is restored for 32-bit platforms. For 64-bit platforms
there is another binary-incompatible change. Doing a diff between the include
files of cln-1.2.0 and cln-1.2.2 I found the attached differences. The
decorated name of the functions read_integer, read_rational, read_float have
changed.

To reproduce: On a Linux/x86_64 machine (I used td189.testdrive.hp.com),
do
  $ export CPPFLAGS="m64" LDFLAGS="-m64"
and configure & build cln-1.2.0 and cln-1.2.2.

  $ nm cln-1.2.0/src/cl_I_readparsed.o | grep ' T '
  00000000000000ae T _ZN3cln12read_integerEjiPKcjj
  $ nm cln-1.2.2/src/cl_I_readparsed.o | grep ' T '
  00000000000000ae T _ZN3cln12read_integerEjiPKcmm

and finally

  $ diff <(nm cln-1.2.0/src/.libs/libcln.so.5.0.0 | grep ' T ' | awk '{print $3}' | sort) \
         <(nm cln-1.2.2/src/.libs/libcln.so.5.0.2 | grep ' T ' | awk '{print $3}' | sort)

Maintaining binary compatibility is more work than one would think...
