Yes, this was announced to spec-prod (but presumably not everyone reads
that...):
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/spec-prod/2012JanMar/0018.html
The problem is basically that "raises" is no longer in WebIDL so I had to
eventually pull it too lest I generate invalid WebIDL.
There isn't an old version but since this is CVS presumably there's some kind
of arcane syntax that makes it possible to get it. Perhaps more usefully, I'd
be happy to figure out a way to still express that information but without ties
to deprecated WebIDL constructs (preferably requiring minimal spec changes).
Sorry about that, I was hoping that people would either a) have moved on from
old WebIDL syntax, b) see the announcement on spec-prod, or c) notice the
change and scream immediately. Suggestions for a better protocol to handle this
sort of change (it's the first of its kind, but possibly not the last) are much
welcome.
