Partly. The "OSP" native API was imported into Tizen comparatively recently, and was offered as the approved native API for Tizen 2.2. That is being removed from Tizen for 2.3. Instead an /existing/ API set, a C based library that packages up a bunch of convenience functions (which in fact the OSP library called on heavily) has been promoted to first class status in the sense of being available to 3rd party application developers, fully supported by the SDK, etc. This library has actually been in the codebase longer than OSP was. In the 2.1/2.2 world, one may have seen mention of this being called the "managed API" - it had no particular API stability promise but was available to platform developers already if they wanted to use it for preloaded apps. So it's one removal and one status change, essentially. It is now possible to reach out more directly into a larger set of additional libraries when doing native programming, including the EFL libraries. > > What is the intended migration strategy for third-parties with existing > code-bases? I believe the intention is that the "old" native library can be installed as an add-on in order to run existing native apps. _______________________________________________ General mailing list General@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/general
