<p dir="auto">Apparently through <a href="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/commit/67cab96c1d59fec2e2b85ee054ec0015195cc35c" data-original="https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/-/commit/67cab96c1d59fec2e2b85ee054ec0015195cc35c" data-link="false" data-link-reference="true" data-project="179611" data-commit="67cab96c1d59fec2e2b85ee054ec0015195cc35c" data-reference-type="commit" data-container="body" data-placement="top" title="gnutlsxx: add const and explicit specifiers where possible" class="gfm gfm-commit has-tooltip">67cab96c</a> methods db_check_entry and set_credentials gained const qualifiers to parameters. While this is safe in C API, it apparently is not in C++ API (there is some notes for this in <a href="https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Issues_With_C%2B%2B" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">https://community.kde.org/Policies/Binary_Compatibility_Issues_With_C%2B%2B</a>, C++ ABI compat is a <em>lot</em> more complex). However, soname was kept. It looks like soname should probably have been bumped with this const qualifier change since it broke ABI compatibility.</p>
