Hi all, we discussed this before, and my thoughts have changed on the matter and I want to bring it up again. We've had various reports from people switching between GLib 2.6 and 2.8 while upgrading, or people installing a 2.8 compiled version of GST on a 2.6 glib version, and more fun things. While in theory I still feel we should have supported 2.6 correctly, in practice we haven't, and we shouldn't lie to people pretending that we do. Therefore I propose that after the next core release, we require GLib 2.8 and remove the compatibility hacks through the stack. What do you all think ? Thomas |

Nobody have an opinion on this ? If no one is against, I say this can be done now. If anyone wants to enjoy the pleasure of ripping out hacky compatibility code, feel free to step up !

Hi, I'd also be in favour of dropping the hacks we have in gst-python for supporting glib < 2.8, and bumping up the requirement to glib/pygtk >=3D 2.8. Everyone ok with that ?
