Hi everyone,

Thanks for pointing this out to me Drew. I didn't know of this
beforehand. Should I downgrade OpenEXR in Debian's branch unstable
back to 1.0.7? Will you keeping the same SONAME of OpenEXR's libs at 1
for the forseeable future?

I have no idea whether the 1.1 of OpenEXR has any risk of breaking
compatibility of programs that were built against the 1.0 libs either
now if they are rebuilt.

I'm still waiting for Robin to release a tarball for me to test out
CinePaint 0.18.2, and I'm not the maintainer for exrtools (the only
other Debian package using OpenEXR). So I'm CC:ing this query to the
relevant parties.

Cheers,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau
