Re: A85: Usgard and some other stuff...




As understood by me, the proposed Usgard 2.0 features included
backwards-compatibility with 1.0+ programs.  (2.0 doesn't exist and is not
being planned: we were just throwing out ideas a while back ago).

So, I think it is important to Andi that Usgard is backwards-compatible.
Certainly all Usgard 1.x programs should be able to be run on any 1.x
version of Usgard.  As for a different major version number, the trend seems
to be to force people to recompile or rewrite their programs for the new
shell... but I think that Andi will try his best to maintain
backwards-compatibility.  (It was attempted to retain this from 0.95 to 1.0,
but this proved impossible).
