the name change is actually a safety measure, since the interface had to
change (according to the Update Pack documentation). IOW, WebSnap was so
badly designed that innocuous fixes were'nt enough to make it usable.
:-)

Changing the interface without changing the name would have had much
worse consequences. It is sufficient to change websnap60 in websnap61 in
the package Requires list, assuming IBO would only support the latest
update pack of each Delphi version (as it has always done).
