I don't know about that. There's still these:
1) The event backing up thing with fl_check_forms().
2) The tabfolder horizontal position bug.
3) The laggy form resize bug.
4) The secret input caret bug.
5) The secret input focus bug.
And probably more. And I'd help out and write some patches but I'm not
going to have any time to do that, at least not until after the middle of
August. But I honestly don't think that it's ready for a minor version
increment...
Also, about changing library names and stuff. Angus seems to know what's
up with the backward compatibility thing. It is *very* important that
xforms remains backwards compatible. At my company, we have literally
hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lines of code and about 80-90
libraries and applications that all rely on the headers and libs being the
way they are now, and about 95% of our stuff uses the forms GL extensions.
We'd like to stay up to date with xforms because of all the bugs that are
being squashed out, but we can't do that if something silly happens like a
header name being changed and the old one removed, or having to deal with
libraries being renamed.
