Re: [ptp-dev] remote API change

Well, in theory, the policy is that you can¹t make API changes in the dot
releases, only in the June releases. That¹s so the community doesn¹t get
surprised when they upgrade to Neon.1 and things start failing badly.

I¹ve been playing with CDT¹s new build system APIs and I¹ve managed to do
it without changing API, just adding to it. Java 8¹s default methods on
interfaces are a saviour. Would it be possible to make these changes
without removing API?

I have some things for an o.e.remote minor release in serial and the
console but have managed to work around them for Neon.1. Given this is RC2
week, I thought it would be too late to schedule a release for it, and
it¹s big enough to be considered a feature change. My recommendation is to
wait for Neon.1. It¹s only three months away. But do what you need to do.
