All of the names that are standard now have been around for a long time and the only thing we did was to reverse the logic of the COMPAT_CRUFT defines. What was #ifndef GIMP_DISABLE_COMPAT_CRUFT before, has become #ifdef GIMP_ENABLE_COMPAT_CRUFT now. That's it! Nothing else changed!! > So, in effect, the recent undiscussed changes completely break the API and > make it impossible to maintain a plug-in for both 1.0 and 1.2 versions. Are you sure? Why does it work for the gimp-print plug-in then? We've been using the old names. I ran Sven's conversion script to generate the new names, and put a whole stack of #define's in the one UI-related file that's shared between the 1.0 code and the 1.2 code. It does make it harder to maintain the plugin for both releases, although not all that much so. -- Robert Krawitz <rlk@xxxxxxxxxxxx> http://www.tiac.net/users/rlk/ Tall Clubs International -- http://www.tall.org/ or 1-888-IM-TALL-2 Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- mail lpf@xxxxxxxxxxxx Project lead for The Gimp Print -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton
