It would be good to record the symbols which were removed.  We don't=20
intend to have removed any public symbols in the C interface in the=20
1.3.X release series.  Any C program linked with the initial 1.3=20
version should continue to run.  There may be some exposed symbols=20
related to module registration functions which are removed if the=20
module is removed and also to the module loader itself.

The C++ interface has encountered a few minor ABI changes which might=20
not have impacted any actual code but we treat any ABI change as=20
significant.  I see those reflected in your table as "changed SONAME".

I am assuming that the changes recorded for 1.3.17 are for private=20
symbols (module loader) related to this change:

"  * Loading modules is only supported for the modules build.
      Previously any build using shared libraries could load modules.
"

Thanks for maintaining this table.
