Re: [Csnd-dev] will there be another Csound 6 release?

I think it would be nice in the future to separate the API release from the
major releases. The API in Csound 6 has undergone breaking changes, but the
major version was not bumped, which breaks the semantic versioning. I
unfortunately experienced this while writing some bindings for the Csound
6, as the documentation was not updated with the breaking changes, and this
caused a lot of headache until I realized the online documentation was
wrong. It doesn't seem proper to make breaking changes to the API within a
major release of Csound unless the API release is itself disconnected from
the Csound release.

Also, I would be interested in making bindings for the Csound 7 API, but
I'm not sure of the status of the API changes. Specifically, I would be
making .NET bindings using F#. The bindings could then be used from C#, but
I would not make higher level wrappers for C# like I would F#.
