You know this categorically? Under my own submission, the GtkEntryCompletion does cover most things I ever needed. But I was quite surprised to read Xavier's email this morning.

I am curious as to what the reasoning was here? Also, it is hardly in the open community spirit to tell people to "come up with a better API" and then follow that with doubt that it will be useful. > > Surely good reasons where discussed with the community before > > deprecating the API, but I didn't find public discussion.

Again, I think this is quite uncalled for. All Xavier is asking for is possible evidence that this was discussed openly. If that doesn't exist, then it only takes a moment to be polite and say so. Being sarcastic is really not professional and I am quite tired of this rhetoric. -- Regards, Martyn _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
