What is the problem?
Suppose I fix a bug in a demo program which comes with Lazarus, it clearly is a bug and there is no reason why it should not be backported to Fixes. I usually work with trunk, and now I must think of checking the compatibility box. I certainly will forget this, and the demo program will be broken in the Fixes branch.
Not to mention all the third party programs out there which now are so nicely available by means of OPM. How will you force every developer to work in compatibility mode? And they have to change it with every demo project. It would be a bit better if there were a global option of setting the default for the compatibility box.
And I see more trouble: package lpk files still use the old format of numbered nodes. When you once decide to introduce the new format also for packages also the packages will be broken - so far it's "only" the demos.
Sorry, this is a mess. -- _______________________________________________ lazarus mailing list lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
