We split the API long time ago and since then we have never added new methods/properties to the stable part, and very few applications use the unstable part (and they only use one or two methods). So, I don't think it will be a problem at all to stop auto-generating them. > I also think it’s worth further discussion with some of the folks at > Apple who also want to make sure we have great API for use inside > injected bundles.

I just need some time, I'm very busy this week because I have to make a new branch for WebKitGTK+ 2.14 and prepare a new release. Good thing is that I made the branch today, so changes in trunk are less risky for us now, and I plan to make the release tomorrow. As soon as the release is out, I'll start working on the bindings freeze. > — Darin -- Carlos Garcia Campos _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org https://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo/webkit-dev
