I strongly think we should revert now, and condition this code on a version bump. If it hasn't happened yet, we should bump now and accept any breakage that happens in-between. We can't just start using new features on other software packages without proper version checking, breaking anything that doesn't have that feature. /Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Mesa3d-dev mailing list Mesa3d-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mesa3d-dev
