Hi All,
I came across a bug in one of the Atlassian tools that suggests that
there was an API compatibility break in the JavaHL between versions
1.6 and 1.7. I am not sure when/if I get time to look more into it,
therefore I am sharing with the group meanwhile. The following comment
is from the issue:
https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/FE-4679
I would argue that this counts as a bug fix, since property values are
in general not strings.
Even if its a bug fix, the normal way to fix it would be to add a new
ProplistCallback2 interface with the proper signature, but since we have
org.apache.subversion.javahl.callback.ProplistCallback, there isn't a
point to do that, but to keep the original signature.
However, given this is released code and 1.7 has been out there a while
and the new signature is correct and people may have compiled against
that, it seems we're in a tough spot.
