Just FYI, here's what I made on top of the new allowance for lisp forms in xfields: a custom field that stores links to recent messages from the contact. This is a first draft and likely buggy, but I'm pretty pleased with how well it works out of the box. https://github.com/girzel/gnorb/commit/a083a9996e88d5c2378f25cb0b4185e55b2ee84a -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

I'd check for the function. Seems more robust. (E.g., if someone forks an older version and updates the date string, or if the function is renamed or removed in the future.) If there's a bug you need to check for you can always complicate the guard later. --Barak. -- HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.

Please report them here. The functionality I wanted this for is pretty much done -- it all works nicely, thank you! Now I need to shield some stuff from users who don't aren't using the git version of BBDB. Is there a best practice in this case? The options I can think of are: 1. check if the new function `bbdb-record-xfield-string' is bound, since that's new here 2. check if `bbdb-version-date' is after May 6, 2014. I'm leaning towards the date check, since that will give finer control if some bugs are discovered and fixed later.

[BBDB] ChangeLog 2014-05-06
(1) BBDB now allows arbitrary lisp expressions as values of xfields. Interactively, you can call bbdb-insert-field or bbdb-edit-field with a prefix arg for this. If the value of an xfield is not a string, it is displayed using the same pretty-printer used by describe-variable. There might still be some rough edges with this new feature that I have overlooked. Please report them here. (2) Do not treat bbdb-change-hook special when inside bbdb-notice-mail-hook or bbdb-notice-record-hook. 2014-05-06 Roland Winkler Do not treat bbdb-change-hook special when inside bbdb-notice-mail-hook or bbdb-notice-record-hook. * lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-notice-mail-hook, bbdb-notice-record-hook): Update docstring. (bbdb-notice-hook-pending): Remove. (bbdb-change-record): Always call bbdb-change-hook if a record was changed. * lisp/bbdb-mua.el (bbdb-update-records, bbdb-annotate-message): Change accordingly. 2014-05-06 Roland Winkler Allow arbitrary lisp expressions as values of xfields. * lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-record-type): Update accordingly. (bbdb-string-trim): New optional arg null. (bbdb-record-xfield-intern): Return xfield value unmodified if it is not a string. (bbdb-record-xfield-string): New function. (bbdb-record-xfield-split): Throw error if xfield value is not a string. (bbdb-record-set-xfield, bbdb-record-set-field) (bbdb-merge-xfield, bbdb-display-record-one-line) (bbdb-display-record-multi-line) * lisp/bbdb-com.el (bbdb-search, bbdb-read-field) (bbdb-edit-field, bbdb-read-xfield): Allow xfield values that are not a string. (bbdb-add-mail-alias): Simplify. 2014-05-06 Roland Winkler * lisp/bbdb.el (bbdb-parse-postcode): Finish immediately if one test succeeds.
