Does a new library need to be backwards compatible? #28

Closed mingness closed 1 month ago

mingness commented 1 month ago

As I understand, Processing 4 was built with Java 17. Previous templates declare a sourceCompatibility of Java 8. The current template is using the recommended toolchain to define Java 17, which automatically sets the source and target compatibility to the same version.

It's ok to make this template compatible with Processing 4 and newer versions. The instructions and tools for creating libraries for Processing 3 and earlier will still available for anyone who needs them.

Thanks! I'll close this issue then.
