4 years ago One idea: since we have bfg9000_required_version, I could keep track of that and use it to decide which implementation of find_files() to expose. If the build file requires 0.6, then we use the new form; otherwise, we use the old one and emit a warning that it'll go away entirely in 0.7.
129 significantly changes the way
find_files(),find_paths(), and related functions (directory()/header_directory()) work. It would be nice to provide a compatibility shim so that common uses of these functions in bfg v0.5 code works in v0.6. However, this is a fair amount of effort to do, and maybe it'd be ok to just require people to update their code. We haven't hit 1.0 yet, and there aren't that many active users, so a compatibility break like this isn't too catastrophic. Still, I'd prefer not to break things this severely very often...
