from DEPRECATED.pod:
=item PARROT_API changes to PARROT_EXPORT [post 0.8.1]
The PARROT_API name suggests something that is not the case yet. This
will
become PARROT_EXPORT after November 2008 release. (We will reintroduce
PARROT_API on specific functions where appropriate post 1.0.0.)
this is the rt tracking ticket. the work has begun in the api2export
branch.
Is this the only purpose of the branch, to change PARROT_API to
PARROT_EXPORT? If so, it seems like it could be done in a single sed
job and not need an entire branch for it.
--Andrew Whitworth
yes, that's the purpose. however, it can't be done until after release, it
must be tested on multiple platforms since it affects the build, and some
files (like NEWS and DEPRECATED.pod) don't change. the branch will likely be
merged with trunk today or tomorrow. it builds on windows, and i will test
it on linux now.
branches are cheap.
