Description Lauro Moura 2010-01-22 11:43:32 EET

Currently boost-based PySide bidings uses multiple typesystem files to handle
different Qt versions. For examples, there is a *_40.xml for the API up to 4.5
and 4.6 stuff loads the 4.5 typesystem from its own _46.xml file. This ends up
with .in file that are processed with CMake.

The proposed solution is adding two attributes for new stuff and deprecated
stuff, making the typesystem able describe always the newest version.

New things would have an attribute 'since=VERSION', stating the since the given
version this object/method/modification is available and should be included.

Deprecated things will have an attribute 'deprecated=VERSION'. So if the
current version is greater or *equal* to VERSION, the
object/method/modification will be marked as deprecated *and* not included by
default. Although it would be useful to have a command line option or flag to
make them available with some special attribute, if someone wishes to include
deprecated function with a deprecation warning.
