while looking at some issues we're having with InkAPI plugins, the issue
I saw the message yesterday on the changing of the plugin A{BP}I in a

I hope if you do that you also change the ATS major version to 3. People
expect compatibility across minor releases, and rightfully so as that is
the industry convention.
I have no major objections to that, but I'll bring it to a vote.
The problem is, not changing the APIs to be 64-bit correct simply makes
them completely unusuable. So, it's either breaking API "compatibility"
or adding new 64 bit APIs.
As for the rest of your suggestions, I think it's out of the scope for
this release, but I'd ask you to file RFEs for all the changes and
additions you want. Of course, if someone wants to fix / add this in the
next month or so, I'm all for accepting those patches.
Thanks
