It's always subjective, but I was specifically thinking of bugs like 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458099 in which we accidentally 
introduced an API break and then fixed it.

I was going to send out a patch request, but something like this really 
deserves a new release IMO, just in the interest of our API 
compatibility promise.
