For JSON-RPC up until now only new methods have been added (see http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=98551&pid=1055011#pid1055011 ) and bugs fixed so any addon/webinterface/client that works with Eden should still work just fine with pre-Frodo builds. There are some that would break backwards compatibility with Eden (including the change in image handling because of Jonathan's texturecache work) but up until now we added some extra code to keep backwards compatibility. The plan was to keep those for a while and then remove them when most of the addons/webinterfaces/clients already prepared for the new logic/API.
So if now is the point of no return I could remove those hacks which are there to keep backwards compatibility and thereby break backwards compatibility but remember that it will mean that all the addons/webinterfaces/clients relying on JSON-RPC will need different releases for Eden and pre-Frodo builds. Let me know what you think. Cheers Sascha -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Cory Fields Gesendet: Freitag, 1.

I've discussed a few bumps with Jonathan and Martijn, but these have not yet gone into master. I suggest that we handle all addon bumps, and firm up guidelines before accepting any frodo-pre PRs. For that reason, it seems reasonable to hold out until the May window is closed to begin pushing to frodo-pre. For skins, that will mean bumping xbmc.gui and requring all frodo skins to use it, as well as finalizing the discussion on update breakage policy. And anything else Jonathan has in mind. For plugins/scripts/others, there are quite a few APIs to bump I believe (json, python, etc). I think Sascha and Martijn have a good idea of what needs to happen here. Bence: Same goes for you, now's the time to bump scraper stuff as necessary. Also, there's the issue of handling translations for Frodo. Attila / Arne: What's the current plan of attack?
