Re: [smila-dev] [smila-user] Change of Record/Blackboard interface for A

Hi,

Na that's ok if it is just such  a simple rename. 
Maybe u could record the refactorings needed for migration and attach them to the bug so downstream developers  can just apply them.

I thought of this, but the problem is: currently we have "byte[] getAttachment(name)", which would be the perfect method name for "Attachment getAttachment(name)", of course, and introducing another name now would look strange in the long run. So I was planning to add a method like "byte[] getAttachmentsAsBytes(name)" as a shortcut, so that adapting to the change should be quite easy. For the setAttachment() methods nothing needs to be changed anyway, just added. 

I can also delay the actual commit of the changes to next year, if that would be easier for you. I'm not finished yet anyway (:

Cheers,
Juergen.
