Backward compatibility between Onload 8.0.1 or later and Onload 7 or earlier has been restored as follows:
-
ef_vi:
- Restored ABI compatibility.
- Restored ability to link libciul1.a with libonload_zf_static.a into single executable.
-
Onload extension library:
- Restored API compatibility.
- Restored ABI compatibility.
- Reverted library major version number increment.
As a consequence of this change, backward compatibility between versions 8.0.1 and 8.0.0 of Onload has not been preserved and ef_vi applications or Onload applications using extensions built with the Onload 8.0.0 extension library need to be rebuilt with Onload 8.0.1 or later.
