That's precisely my point - at the expense of a few lines Nasal, it can be one version working with both last stable and current devel - which is why the code I distribute is as it is. This setup works fine until someone else doesn't commit the code as I prepared it but alters it before committing to GIT to get rid of the 40 or so extra lines which are only needed for compatibility with last stable. Then my code and the committed code are different, and I can't reasonably maintain that. I'm not suggesting how you should conduct your business, I'm telling about what I do and warning that if someone removes the compatibility lines before committing to GIT, he'll have to do it every time I update the code, because for the reasons given above my version will not have the lines removed. If you read the forums, you quite often come across disappointed users who'd like to test a new aircraft/feature/... shown there, but it doesn't run with last stable, although often a fix is often trivial (a single property with different name,...) - I don't see why we can't make things backward compatible as long as that's just such trivial issues, I prefer a happy userbase if it costs me nothing :-) Cheers, * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
