FWIW, I am probably the only frequent Perl binding user and I would accept
whatever is easiest for you. Thanks for doing this. Once the bindings are
working, I will fix all scripts depending on it

SWIG bindings now up-to-date.
Bindings users, please holler if I removed things overzealously.
I haven't tried it, but I believe that this will break BPBible for example.
As the bindings are part of SWORD, I believe it makes sense to mirror the
deprecations in the bindings somehow if possible, rather than ignoring the
deprecated definitions.
I know that's what e.g. wxPython does, but I'm not sure how it does it.
I can't see any way of marking the methods as deprecated using SWIG. A Google
search has turned up no such evidence that it is even possible. While I would
like to mark them as deprecated, I think it is more proper for there to be no
such warnings coming from building the engine. I think it would just smack as
an issue with building if the engine produced warnings that it uses its own
deprecation warnings!
Doing this will make it easier to support both SWORD 1..6 and SVN, which I
think is desirable until a couple of versions down the road.
Supporting both is not something that either BibleTime or Xiphos is able to do
at this point, either. In BT we maintain a separate branch for compatibility
with SWORD while in Xiphos we simply can't make a new release until the engine
releases. BPBible will probably need to take a similar path.
Part of cleaning up warnings from building are to allow the bindings to make it
into distros. I've cleaned them up enough since 1.6.2 that hopefully this
release will see at least Dmitrijs and whoever is our Fedora maintainer at this
point able to build the bindings and include them in the distro which ought to
allow BPBible to be packaged as well. Previously at least Debian was choking on
the bindings failing to build due to warnings and -Werror flags.
In short, I'd rather keep these out unless there's a way to suppress the
compile warnings and mark them as deprecated in the SWIG output. If you find
evidence of that possibility, please let me know.
--Greg God Bless,
