First summary: I will do the following tomorrow. All API changes will be written down in base/API_CHANGE.txt.
1. Adjust all kaa modules and freevo to the new notifier namespace stuff. The deprecated warnings in kaa.base will be kept but should not be visible for any kaa modules and Freevo 2.0. But since we break the API, they will be removed before the next release. 2. Rename ThreadCallback to NamedThreadCallback and adjust all the code. 3. Rename Thread to ThreadCallback and rename start to __call__. A new Thread class will inherit from ThreadCallback and add a deprected warning and this functions also has a start function with a deprected warning. 4. Adjust all kaa modules and Freevo to the new thread naming 5. Include BackgroundTask. That should work without breaking the API but I will check. 6. Add support for foo = yield something in kaa.base. This will require some Python 2.4/2.5 checking because I'm not sure if Freevo 1.8 is not using kaa.rpc which uses the decorator stuff. All code in kaa.base will use the old style code to get the yield results. The same will be true for kaa.imlib2 and kaa.metadata but I guess they don't use it. That will be the first part of the API change. I will check this with Python 2.4 and 2.5. All tests in kaa.base should work with both python versions. If I have some time I will start making beacon depend on 2.5 which means I will use the new decorator style code for testing. This means kaa.base, kaa.imlib2 and kaa.metadata should work with Python 2.4, all other modules may use the new yield style and also add some additional Python 2.5 code like with-statements and relative imports. Is that ok with everyone? Dischi -- Black holes suck.
