The major version of the Csound API is increased to 2; affected csound.so as well. This means that Csound 5.10 is incompatible with applications ("front ends", "clients", or "hosts") that were built for Csound 5.08 and earlier and that use API version 1.x. These applications will need to be rebuilt to work with the current and future versions of Csound. Csound front ends written in interpreted languages such as Python or Java may continue to work without modification. It may also be possible to keep both an earlier version of the Csound library and an API 2.0 version on the same machine together so that new and old Csound-based applications can run side-by-side. These changes do not in any way affect the
compatibility of Csound orchestras and scores: all old documents should continue to work as before.
