I'd be happy to take this on. AFAICT, there are three functions in org-bbdb that no longer exist in bbdb v3. bbdb-name bbdb-company bbdb-record-getprop The first two can easily be defaliased to bbdb-search-organization and bbdb-search-name. (For a while, we should probably support bbdb v2 and v3 simultaneously.) What is the new name of bbdb-record-getprop (the function that retrieves the value of a given label in a record)? My best guess is bbdb-record-note, but I want to confirm this. The other major change that breaks compatibility is the order of the parameters in bbdb-split. It has been reversed in the new bbdb: i.e., one used to call (bbdb-split string separator), whereas now one must call (bbdb-split separator string). Is there a compelling reason to change this order in the new bbdb?
