LATEST_VERSION is increased with a complete test when the new version is released. So the reason is just that I didn't test v1.5.4 on kernel 3.10 and later. > I also wonder what the concept of LATEST_VERSION is. > One does not know in advance which change in a newer kernel version > might break things? > So this one needs to be increased with every new kernel version? There is no definite rule, but the new version is usually released every 2-3 versions of kernel and supports them additionally. BTW, makedumpfile-1.5.5 will be released at the beginning of December and it will support kernel 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12 as well.
