14Status
15------
16
17libsigrokdecode is in a usable state and has had official tarball releases.
18
19While the API can change from release to release, this will always be
20properly documented and reflected in the package version number and
21in the shared library / libtool / .so-file version numbers.
22
23However, there are _NO_ guarantees at all for stable APIs in git snapshots!
24Distro packagers should only use released tarballs (no git snapshots).
