Yet as a 3rd party developer I have to say that DotSystem has a point here. SD has a habit of breaking a lot of things with new releases and it's always a huge effort to only keep up with the changes. And I do have the opinion (and expressed it quite a few times over in the developer forum) that this has to change because it negates the huge asset (IMHO) the community development is. IMHO, any changes to interfaces, internal as well as external should be deprecated for one release before taking effect so that developers have time to adapt. But after all, that's a design decision and we have to be aware of the price. Look at Microsoft's products. Some of them are barely usable these days (IE comes to mind) because they carry so much legacy around, sometimes just making a clean cut has it's advantages, too. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68521 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
