UNLESS an addition is absolutely needed to "fix a bug". i know it sounds harsh - but this is there because efl exports defines for manor and minor version but NOT micro version. this allows apps to #if out code based on major and minor version - but an addition during micro they can't deal with. also this is there to minimize possible "surprises" for micro releases. these releases SHOULD only be fixing bugs (important ones like crashes or misbehaviour or performance bottleneck issues that are simple and easy to fix). if the reason to add an api is "because people are impatient" then that's not a reason. we have been very good about efl releases over the past 2 years or so. we've done 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 1.7 - that makes about every 6 months. 1.8 will probably happen march-ish (maybe april). they can wait. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
