+1 to break API I think: - from a power user point of view (and for plugin writers), the largest impact will be in loosing (and having to rewrite) a lot of plugins, at least for several weeks or months; for this, I think it is very important to move *before breakage* all the plugins (if the authors agree) to the new infrastructure, so devs could help each other migrating to new API - it would be good to have 1.8 binaries for major distros before the breakage, so people willing to use new features *and* existing plugins will be happy. Does this sound reasonable? All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini: http://www.faunalia.it/pc _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
