First of all, it needs to be &&, not || :P Second of all, even that is not a good solution because you can't be sure the API will really be included as is in .14 and you can accidentally release it before .14 and then we'll change the API or something. You probably need to have a manual review anyway. Best is probably have a centralised place where you define a macro for the new feature (terminology_private.h or whatever) which also has a #warning or something to make sure you revisit it. Even if you check for >= 1.13.99 it won't help, as you might have an older version from git to work against. Another thing you could do, but is not really safe, is rely on VREV, which is a sequential number since the beginning of the current branch (similar to svn rev), but it's unsafe because you can have the same number in a different branch (let's say 1.13 stable). -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
