Just throwing in questions on minimizing the problem of updates breaking gnome-shell extensions, obviously: Can we make testing beta versions (and porting extensions to the next major version of GNOME) more attractive / easier for extension authors? Have Shell maintainers published info on "Code changes which may affect extensions" in the past? Putting this into the release notes feels a bit too late. andre -- Andre Klapper | [email protected] http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
