Re: [PHPiCalendar-DEV] $_GET variables

[Chad <ch...@ch...>]

Well we've had a number of bugs submitted on pre 4.1 installs in the 
past. The problem is many users have no control over what there server 
admins put on the system, and getting them to upgrade may not be 
possible. I think about two things:

1) Its extra work to change, not much but it is.
2) It decreases our possible install base.

By contrast Squirrelmail just now started requiring 4.0.6 from 4.0.2. I 
think our current level is fine for the moment. I'm sure we'll raise it 
in the future.
