Are you sure 1.8 breaks the compatibility with 1.7 ? I don't think so. It's not because in terms of source code everything is now inside a single tarball that the compatibility for applications has been broken. > I would then suggest to have EFL 1.7 and EFL 1.8 in parallel for some > time. Maybe we should create efl18 package. Before doing that, I'd like to understand how/why EFL 1.8 is incompatible with EFL 1.7. > As for EFL 1.7, maybe the easiest to do is require a toolchain with > threads support. I agree.
