I really don't see a posibility to support old handlers as well. The new API is just too different from the new one. I now that many people will get mad about this, but supporting two different APIs does no good in the long term. > NAVIGATIONAL REGRESSIONS > I consider these serious because we have a very big user base that will > have a forced change of habits, that I assure you will be frustrating to > many people.
