3.7.1 is already out, but release-monitoring.org doesn't seem to be picking that up.

The SPEC file needs a lot of rework, so this update rebuild can't work automatically.

I have a working SPEC file here:
https://copr-dist-git.fedorainfracloud.org/cgit/barsnick/fed-newer/recode.git/tree/?id=7cabe0a5eec20ed4d332da8df21f7ffdd11e867e

and a copr build here:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/barsnick/fed-newer/build/803304/

Notable changes in my SPEC file:
- new URLs
- drop all patches (none of them seems required anymore)
- BR flex
- BR python and cython (for %check), and fix up for
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Python#Multiple_Python_Runtimes
- more use of macros
- I have disabled %check due to a bug in my build environment - it needs to go back in.

Please consider building this new package, at least for Rawhide (though I don't know the rules for updating other distro versions).

Upstream started porting tests to Python3 (python3 branch) but has not yet finished. I managed to get them running but they miserably fail. Thus I will package 3.7.1 with Python2.

3.7.1 brings some changes in recodext.h (removed SET_SUBTASK_ERROR macro). That breaks API. Therefore I will it go only to Rawhide.

struct recode_outer changed ABI. module_libiconv() function was removed from the library. A soname was not changed. Raising question to upstream <https://github.com/rrthomas/recode/issues/22>. I will wait (some time) until upstream decides to change or not to change the soname.

Just as a remark:
Thanks for the concise explanation.

Often I am missing the reasoning for skipping builds on certain distribution releases, or the opposite ("why was *this* package update on stable, even though the soname changed / functionality changed".)

Reverse dependencies fixed in:

fortune-mod-2.10.0-2.fc32
python-bibtex-1.2.7-16.fc32

Still building:

php-7.3.9~RC1-2.fc32

php completed.
