The upcoming release 2.1 will not contain these ABI changes, but release 2.2 will, and no backwards compatibility is planed due to the vhost-user multiple queues feature enabling. Binaries using this library build prior to version 2.2 will require updating and recompilation. Applied with this rewording: It should be integrated in release 2.2 without backward compatibility. It *should* be in next release but we have to wait that the feature is stable/integrated in Qemu.
