Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you should only test with your minimum requirements. You should, of course, test with as many permutations of your supported platform as is feasible. (Yes, this gets unwieldy, but you should try anyway.) My point was that, if you never test with the platform that you claim is the required minimum, you can't really guarantee that it works. I've actually seen quite a few cases where a programmer uses some newer functionality in some library without updating the version requirements. Heck, I'm sure I've done it myself. It's really easy to do by accident. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
