    ABI Compliance:
    
    abi-compliance-checker reports 99% binary compatibility and 81.4% source
    compatibilty between version 0.0.5 and 0.1.
    
     - Binary compatibility: 99%
     - Source compatibility: 81.4%
     - Total binary compatibility problems: 4, warnings: 2
     - Total source compatibility problems: 165, warnings: 7
    
    Now that we have funtional ABI validation, the soname has been updated from
    libcamera.so.0.0.5 to libcamera.so.0.1.
    
    Future releases will now maintain the same soname until an ABI breakage is
    detected to reduce the repackaging and rebuilding of other components that may
    use libcamera. The abi-compatibility report can now be generated with the new
    utility './utils/abi-compat.sh'.
    
    Key differences here are due to preventing the installation of internal and
    private headers in the packaging process, and most of this API compatibility
    should not be visible to applications with the exception of:
    
    - Camera::generateConfiguration ( StreamRoles const& roles )
    
      The StreamRoles type definition has been removed. This is now handled as a
      Span<StreamRole> to prevent unnecessary allocations and copies.
    
    - CameraManager::addCamera ( std::shared_ptr<struct Camera> camera, std::vector<unsigned long>const& devnums )
    - CameraManager::get ( dev_t devnum )
    - CameraManager::removeCamera ( std::shared_ptr<struct Camera> camera )
    
      These functions of the CameraManager were for use exclusively by the V4L2
      adaptation layer, and not intended for use by applications. This has now been
      reworked to use the new SystemDevices and the redundant functions removed.
    
    The ABI/API breakages have been introduced by:
    
      5ca0c9276f28 ("libcamera: CameraManager: Remove ::get(dev_t)")
      26a4b83d1b94 ("libcamera: Remove `StreamRoles` alias")
