Description Lauro Moura 2011-03-14 20:29:18 EET

ApiExtractor allows an attribute named 'since' to a class on the typesystem to
specify the initial version that class were present.

Currently a single 'since' argument is accepted in GeneratorRunner, leading to
potential conflicts when using different projects together, like PySide +
Mobility bindings. PySide has since entries for Qt 4.6, 4.7. Mobility for 1.1,
1.2.

Comment 1 Hugo Parente Lima 2011-03-15 16:32:12 EET

The typesystem tag would have a project (whatever) attribute, so the
APIExtractor would known what version to use in the "since" comparisson on each
typesystem file. This would also require the user to specify not only the
version when calling the generator but one or more tuples of project/version.

Comment 2 Hugo Parente Lima 2011-05-30 17:26:27 EEST

Note to ourselves:

This feature was implemented but wasn't released yet because it causes an ABI
break in ApiExtractor.

The code can be found in the abibreak branch on apiextractor repository and
fixes for other projects to use this branch can be found on apiextractor11
branches on each project that need a fix.

We are not going to break the ApiExtractor ABI until we get a better reason, so
this code wont be merged for while to avoid headaches with PySide packagers.

Implemented in commit:
