RE: [PHP-GTK-DEV] re: manifest

Thomas, I don't think that one function parameter change (ONE) dating from the beginning of the PHP-GTK project justifies this thread. Andrei's usually careful about BC, but that particular article - the original of which is no longer online - was the first item anyone put online about PHP-GTK. I know - I edited the article. It would be easy enough to allow for a third optional parameter that does nothing, but there's no point in doing that if there's not a general problem and - put it this way, in 2.5 years you're the first person to mention that this might be a problem at all. Where else have you found anything online that was written for earlier versions and actually won't run under PHP-GTK 1.0?
