Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Why is ad_parameter deprecated?

Posted by defunct defunct on
Just wanted to add something....

Been a bit of discussion recently about renaming functions etc... and also there appears to be (forgive me if I've misunderstood) some effort to move existing functions to namespace style...

Given the effeorts made to encourage upgradescripts etc.. following release 4.5, are people going to offer some kind of upgrade for these kinds of funtions changes etc..?

Perhaps this has already been addressed, and I've missed it, but if not then can I please ask (assuming this is the case) why functions etc are being renamed etc.. without upgrade. Obviously theres not much point making an effort to provide database upgrades if lots of the code is just going to stop working...

Again apologies if I've missed something and its already been addressed..

Incidentally why renbame a function from set_value to set.. not sure I see why?

Cheers
Simon
