Hi Ariel, > is there already a general agreement about when API changes will be allowed?
In my understanding, there was no definitive answer to this question in the thread which discussed it. The general consensus seemed to be towards "change anything you like (as long as it's reasonable) in a major release". In my opinion, this /perhaps/ is somewhat too generous for a major release, and /definitely/ too restrictive for all intermediate releases. Well, I think I'll challenge that rule sooner or later, I have a lot of small changes to start with :). For instance, I'd like to take all those awt/form services which effectively describe *implementations* in OOo, and make all the "optional" properties added over the years non-optional, to match reality.
