And this is the point of having the warning in the first place. Make
people aware of a coming change.
As already mentioned in this thread, a mere hint about "may change
somehow, in the next version" is of no real use. IMO "deprecated" means
to the user that he should change his code *now*, in anticipation of the
coming change. This obviously is not the case with the breaking change of
the bookmark type, where *no* workaround exists in the current release.
Instead of repeating the remark, suggesting a solution would be useful.
Criticism is easy. Coming up with solutions obviously much less so.
As written before, in MSEgui I'll define a "bookmarkty" type, so MSEgui users
have "bookmarkty" in order to avoid the warning. FPC and Lazarus probably
can't do the same because of Delphi compatibility. Suggestion:
remove "deprecated" from TBookmarkStr in fixes_2_6.
Well, I think it is better to warn people of a coming change.
So I have added a description that warns people that it will disappear in 2.6.3.
Michael.
