There are several important bugs I need to fix so it should be
ready withing a week or two.

Currently I have following problems (before a release):

(a) A newly booster.thread test fails on FreeBSD I need to find why it may be a serious bug
(a) The ICU test fails with ICU version >= 50. It is either ICU bug or just a change that I need to ignore in the test so I'm waiting for a answer from ICU team.

It changes the ABI in "forward compatible way" only - it adds a new API.
It should be done for major versions only.

If I add more API changes I need to consider more stuff that is even more 
important - like for example accessing cache outside the application
to fire triggers and some other things.
