I agree with BJ.  Backward compatibility should be a LAW only broken for a
very compelling reason, note a goal.

Subject: well so much for backward compatibility. (RANT)


I just plugged my code from ver 4.0 into trunk
guess what
none of it works.
so what happend to depreciating then removing, based on releases.
Sure ver 1.5 has lots of neat things.
but shouldn't we try to conserve as much of the programming effort as we
can.
Why not add the same functions and method and leave the 1.4 compatibility
