    I try a bit to give an overview on the latest changes of the file in
    discussion:

    The naming in the source code contains 'lool' in it until it was
    changed
    five month ago to 'cool'. Thus the original naming was:

    window.webkit.messageHandlers.lool !== undefined)
    window.webkit.messageHandlers.lool.postMessage('EXITSLIDESHOW', '*');

    The change from 'lool' to 'cool' created a break for at least two
    known
    downstream consumer projects.


Just for the record, the incriminated code is used solely by the iOS app (Collabora Office).

Apparently not?

Are there other iOS apps that broke because of the lool->cool change?

Isn't Andreas saying that it broke two downstream consumer projects?

As far as I'm concerned there aren't any.

It seems to transpire that at least 2 other projects were concerned by it.

It's good that we discussed the issue at length, and will have a vendor neutral message handler name finally. ;)

It would have been great to have a discussion before the "lool" handler was changed to a "non-vendor neutral" one.

If I understood well a change to "lok" would break even more projects so what about reverting it to a vendor neutral name like "lool" so that the issue is fixed for 3 downstream consumer projects?


Regards,
Andras

Ciao

Paolo
