[GiNaC-list] removed function in 1.7.1 without soname bump

[Till Hofmann]

Hi all,

I'm a Fedora co-maintainer for ginac. We're currently working on
updating ginac to the new release 1.7.1. During this process, we
realized that there is a function that was removed in 1.7.1, but the
soname was not changed. Was this intentional? Usually, removing
functions requires an soname bump so other software doesn't accidentally
link against the wrong version.

The removed function is
'method virtual GiNaC::ex GiNaC::pointer_to_map_function_1arg<const
GiNaC::ex&>::operator()(const GiNaC::ex&)'

I've attached the output of abidiff to this email. For reference, here
is the exact command to get the abidiff:
$ abidiff --d1 ginac-old/usr/lib/debug/ --d2 ginac-new/usr/lib/debug
ginac-old/usr/lib64/libginac.so.6.0.0 ginac-new/usr/lib64/libginac.so.6.0.1


Kind regards,
Till
