I agree that this makes more a whole lot more sense, and would like to see the 1.8 API behave this way, if GUI clients can deal with it. What about third-party callers that call the 1.7 and earlier APIs? Their callbacks will be called at a different time when they run against 1.8 libs, won't they? Is this a problem? > This changes the notifications a bit, as mentioned in the log message (which > is in the patch file). This might also be a backwards-compatibility concern. If possible, we should try to keep the old APIs working as-is. I think this was part of the rationale for doing this within 'svn'.
