Oh, the other big controversial decision that I had to make is that I called the new version 1.69. I don't like this choice because 1.69 is not compatible with 1.68 (per the SONAME change), but I can't name it 1.7 because it's not containing the updates from 1.7's code.
However right now the only breaking change is that someone has to change their link line from -lNL to -lhawknl
I realized recently that the other so is called libnl and Hawk's is libNL, with captial NL, so technically we can make it work but it bothers me quite a bit to have libnl and libNL on the same system.
I'd suggest a symlink (can that work?), but the change is small enough that it's trivial for people to upgrade.
