Adding functions and variables is okay. The only concern is the 8
changed variables. If they are not referenced by any consumers of
Field3D, then updating is okay. I get the impression that those are
internal variables (because they are static and have a version number
in their names). If you can confirm that these variables are not
referenced directly by any Field3D consumers, then go ahead and build
the update. Otherwise, you will need to rebuild all consumers to be
sure the update doesn't cause breakage.
That doesn't sound like a lot of fun, so seeing as OpenImageIO is the only consumer on Fedora, perhaps I should just rebuild it anyway to be safe :)
