Well, I don't know about that. Each interface is still a completely separate thing, and the version numbers for them are maintained accordingly. It seems important that a version bump in, say, the state extension, doesn't mean anything in the core has changed. Paticularly for developers that don't use state. However, perhaps this argument is invalid since LV2 specifications never break (their URI must change if they do, there is no major version). That's a pretty dramatic change, but it is simpler... a lot simpler... having all the NEWS files and everything merged, I don't know ... -dr _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
