Well, a library is entitled to improve its API, especially in a well
reasoned way, surely. (Others do it, when the benefits merit the
change.)

If anyone hasn't archived a copy of the library source together with the
project using it, then any version-related surprise is purely self inflicted.

Only the merits of the change remain then, as a basis for possible
objection. These improvements earn only thanks from me.
