Thankfully, Xavi Artigas fixed. Even though unstable but it's compilable on devel branch now.
Actually, efl has been bad at compatibility so far. After 1 year leaving, Enventor has totally collapsed which was stable enough. It's not about interface nor compilation but behaviors. UIs is too fragile now, entry and focus in Enventor showed me the worst compatibility among that. It's too shame. Since efl is a very huge system. many committers are not easy to understand whole bunch of code and history. I agree with zmike, bu5hm4n and other people about review process. We need more strict patch review. But I'd rather say, it doesn't mean just review but the real review by actual maintainers. Submitting patches without actual maintainer's review shoudln't be acceptable even if they are committer. If a non-maintainer reviews code, verifies it, situation won't be different. In my experience, unstable efl has not come from the misunderstanding of programming language, eye-catching compatibility breakage, crash and simple logic change inside the function. Sometimes we do mistake but it's not too critical. We can easily find them and fix them soon by compiler, code analizyer, test apps and developers. What's on the stake? Unstable efl has coming from the misunderstanding of code history, whole logic sequence in real complex usage and api concept changes. Obviously, we need official designated maintainers in efl, at least those maintaining parts should not be broken any more. Plus, as we know, UI is not a single functional stuff. It's applicable. unit test or single function test is not enough. Even we human cannot imagine or expect how our changes will bring broken behaviors from this complex world. few but still, we have those efl apps and active app maintainers- rage, terminology, eruler, ephoto and enventor etc Actually they are not enough number of unit but unless we try to keep them alive, well, who wanna untrustworthy library and write apps using it? I wish efl developers should not satisfy with just unit test / test apps such as elementary_test. Before a new version release, additionally, we should get approval by more practical apps whether they have any compatibility issues or not.
