Hi Roland,
thanks for the prompt reply! I was wondering if I need to register the
xfield somewhere.
Anyway:
I'm using this record for testing and edebugging
Test Name
mail: t...@example.org
pgp-mail: sign
notes: test address
I've been comparing the different behaviours in the old and new
libraries by running Bbbdb v2 as userA and Bbdb v3 (as myself). And by
changing the code as above
For both I created the same record
Bbdb v2 userA edebug steps show for example:
Result: ("Test Name" "t...@example.org")
Result: ("t...@example.org")
Result: "t...@example.org"
Result: "sign"
whereas Bbd v3 as myself will show these steps
Result: ("Test Name" "t...@example.org")
Result: ("t...@example.org")
Result: "t...@example.org"
Result: nil
