Hi all,

In the coming releases we plan to add new features to extensions. For
example, a way to display a license file, versioning etc. These features
would not work with an older office although the extension itself could
still work. For example, an extension contains a license file which
should be displayed to the user during installation. When this extension
is being installed with an old version of OOo, then the extension may
still be usable, but the license will not be displayed because the
feature was not implemented then. If the developer of an extension wants
that the user must agree to the license, then she/he needs a way to
prevent the extension from working with an older OOo.

Therefore we could introduce new media types for the contents of the
extension, which are only understood by a new version of OOo. This would
affect these types:

application/vnd.sun.star.uno-component
application/vnd.sun.star.uno-typelibrary
application/vnd.sun.star.basic-library
application/vnd.sun.star.dialog-library
application/vnd.sun.star.configuration-data
application/vnd.sun.star.configuration-schema
application/vnd.sun.star.package-bundle-description


We could add a kind of version id to the name. For example:
application/vnd.sun.star.uno-component2

If you have another idea how to achieve this then let us know.

Regards,

Joachim Lingner
