pvDatabaseCPP:

The destroy() methods have been deprecated in 2019 as part of a commit with the message "fix warning messages; at least on linux".

There seems to be no documentation - neither at the point of deprecation nor at the point of removal - how to migrate applications that are using this method.

    I maintain that any application that uses destroy will have
    problems.
    Any application that uses destroy should be fixed.

In Base 7.0.5, which is a minor release, interfaces have been removed in some of the PVA modules:

pvDatabaseCPP release 4.5.3

The previously deprecated destroy methods have been removed.

pvDataCPP release 8.0.4 (claimed) / 8.1.0 (internal)

Incompatible changes

Remove ByteBuffer::align()

I did not expect backward compatibility breaking code changes in a minor release.

Can someone please clarify for me what changes are accepted for which level of release jump?!

Cheers,
