So it may depend on the version of 0.4 that they were designed for. Notably, 0.4.0 and 0.4.1 had some major API revisions. While porting sylpheed from 0.3 the documented changes indicated I would need 0.4.5 or above. At that point the ABI changed subtly as the library defaulted to being compiled with large file support. Requires a change to configure.in if you're using certain functions. Also, there are many deprecated functions and structures that may still be present in the code that the gpgme authors aren't guaranteeing will be available through the entire 1.0.x release cycle. Moving from 0.4 to 1.0 will be much easier than moving from 0.3 to 1.0, though as the changes are small and well documented in the info pages and the NEWS file. -Toshio
