Simply because not all compilers that The GIMP supports accept these comments. Let alone that they are ugly. And you are wrong about const. The const qualifier wasn't part of the K&R definition of the C programming language as found in Appendix A of their book "The C Programming Language". But it was added by the X3J11 Committee when the ANSI C standard was defined. It can thus be assumed that it is supported by all reasonable C compilers. > Also, I would like to move the existing ChangeLog to ChangeLog.old > and start using the standard changlog format (the one parsed by > Xemacs and vi and numerous perl scripts) in a new ChangeLog if that > is ok with you. ~ That way people could parse our changelog for > news updates if they are into that sorta thing. The current ChangeLog in gegl CVS seems pretty much standard to me. What format would you prefer? Sven
