 | 51 |  |  | * All function and structure names now follow a standardised | 
 
 
 
 
 | 52 |  |  | naming scheme. This will break compatibility with existing | 
 
 
 
 
 | 53 |  |  | programs. To use pre-0.10 compatibility functions: | 
 
 
 
 
 | 54 |  |  |  |

 | 81 | tdb | 1.24 | * Minor changes to the return types of the python bindings functions. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 82 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 83 |  |  | * PLEASE NOTE: this will break binary (only) compatibility. |
