Re: [Asterisk-java-devel] 2.0 release

[Enguerrand de R. <eng...@el...>]

Hi Brett

I can say that
"it means that you have to have two different code bases to handle the different versions of asterisk."
would not work for us. For a smooth  roll-out of Asterisk 13 we need to support Asterisk 13 and all currently supported versions in parallel.

That said, if I am the only one who sees it that way it should not affect your decision on how to proceed, because I have already brought the current codebase to a level that works with Asterisk 13 and Asterisk 1.4 in parallel, so for us the problem is addressed, albeit in a way that only covers the features our application actually makes use of. Anyways, I am thinking that others might be in the same situation.

This goes back to my previous mail regarding backward compatibility, which first went to asterisk-users by mistake and then was bounced by asterisk-devel because it exceeded 40 kb (which is why I removed your mail from this reply, so hopefully this one goes through). The key sentence was

"I think we'd have to agree on a strategy for backwards compatibility. E.g. some user events got some major restructuring in Asterisk 12. Applications that expect the old structure of e.g. Dial-, Hold- and Park Events may no longer work correctly if we just adjust to the new structure. The problems I have encountered so far could be overcome by building additional legacy Events from the new Events and sending them out as well, but that obviously does not lead to cleaner code and may actually produce unexpected side effects."

Regards
Enguerrand
