Sure. And they are welcome to do so in their applications. But if they want to do so in a library that many people depend on then they should do so respectfully, i.e. without forcing everybody else to update to the new version the same minute a new feature is used for the first time. As Thomas wrote ifdef's can help. In kdepimlibs we have lived quite well with this policy for years. Regards, Ingo
