[Opensim-dev] breaking OpenSim.ini changes

[Stefan Andersson]

Can we _please_ post-tag a 0.6.5-rc1, from before the current breaking changeset? Anybody got a good candidate rev?

Best regards,
Stefan Andersson

I completely agree with Charles...


It might be good idea to at least try to schedule or group all the ini "breaking" changes together, and also try to implement them as close to a new point release as possible, so that we can at least try to preserve "compatibility" between build versions and "minor update" releases and give users proper notice. 


By scheduling the "breaking changes" together in groups, it would also give us additional time to update the WIKI pages, and properly document all the new INI changes in an updated "ReadMe" file as well.

We seem to have breaking changes in OpenSim.ini today and I would like to recommend that we slow that down. 

In the past, we have been very careful about breaking changes in OpenSim.ini to preserve compatibility and go out of our way to send notice. It seems that changing syntax in our .ini file is something that should be done with deliberation and more concern and notice to our users.
