Re: Config class running

Hi I have no problem with a rewrite and commiting that to CVS, but as it looks like you're changing the API of a stable class signficantly: How do we warn the people about that, and how can I download the old class later, when the new API is released. Or is this not possible anymore then and I have to rewrite my scripts, if i want to redestribute them. I know, that I can redistribute the old Config classes to avoid this stuff, but anyway... These are just some questions, which popped up in my head. I'm not against introducing a rewrite, but could you maybe release it somewhere, so we can have a look at it :) chregu On Sun, 18 Aug 2002, Bertrand Mansion wrote: > Hi, > > I have been working on the config class recently and it is almost ready.
