It is the bug fix release after integration to the Moblin SigChk and testing Moblin-2.0 libraries for ABI compatibility with Ubuntu-Moblin-Remix-9.10 libraries.
</p>
<ul><li> <b>Bug fixes</b>
<ul><li> Size of ABI info dumps have been reduced through removing of unnecessary information.
</li><li> Incorrect names of template instances and function pointer types.
</li><li> Incorrect positions of function parameters in the section 'Interface Problems' in the report.
</li><li> Removed some false positives from the report.
</li><li> Incorrect handling of special symbols in the paths to header files and shared objects.
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> <b>New features</b>
<ul><li> Added ability to specify a file with a list of interfaces that should be checked.
</li></ul>

</p>
<ul><li> <b>New features</b>
<ul><li> Checking of incorrect symbols versioning.
</li><li> Checking the values of defines (constants).
</li><li> Ability to check header files without shared objects. It is easy to run, but may provide a low quality ABI compliance report<br />with a lot of false positives and without detecting of added/withdrawn interfaces.
</li><li> Number of checked interfaces and data types in the report.
</li><li> Added tests for checking new features.
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> <b>Bug fixes</b>
<ul><li> Incorrect processing of duplicated headers in the input set (headers with the same name but different paths).
</li><li> Incorrect header files include order.
</li><li> Sorting in the ABI dumps.
</li><li> Incorrect processing of redefined virtual methods.
</li><li> Incorrect processing of anon types.
</li><li> Absence of some necessary information about C++-functions in the ABI dumps.
