Hello everyone,
I hope this approach is given some consideration. I have a number of projects that worked until (including) 8.0.2, but stopped working under 8.1. Two don't even compile in 8.2. I hope to eventually find the time to get them working under the Apache release, but until some spare cycles materialize it would be nice to have a repo somewhere other than the copies I keep squirreled away. Thanks, Peter ________________________________ From: Neil C Smith <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2018 11:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: What will happen to NB 8.x (and earlier)?
