00:33 Hijiri   what version is breaking mod compatibility planned for?
00:34 Sketch2  Hi
00:36 Hijiri   hi
00:39 VanessaE Hijiri: there isn't.
00:39 Hijiri   oh
00:39 Hijiri   is it planned specifically to have no versions that break mod compatibility with the previous version?
00:39 VanessaE there'll be some breakage at 0.5.0-release, but not breaking mods or worlds, generally
00:40 Hijiri   I could imagine a feature like dimensions that wouldn't change the API, but would break a lot of assumptions that may be made in mods currently
00:40 Hijiri   I mean, wouldn't break the API, obviously new stuff would need to be added
00:40 VanessaE like map dimensions?  won't happen in 0.5.0
02:00 Hijiri   I never asked if it would happen in 0.5.0
02:59 VanessaE well 0.5.0 is the next major release...
03:00 VanessaE the only time breakage should theoretically happen is then
03:00 VanessaE but there are no plans for major unfixable breakagee.
03:44 Hijiri   what does unfixable mean
03:44 Hijiri   for mods, hypothetically you could "fix" any mod by writing it from scratch
06:34 VanessaE it means exactly what it looks like - there are no plans to change or remove any features that would result in some mod breaking in a way that can't be worked around.  Just about everything that works under 0.4.x now should work under 0.5.x, and whatever comes in the future.
07:02 nerzhul  hello, i opened https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/7043 issue to talk about CSM mod sending technically
15:29 Hijiri   "work around" sounds the same as "fix" to me
15:29 Krock    could also be something like "temporary fix" or "ugly hack"
15:30 Hijiri   yeah but that's a lower standard than fix anyway
15:31 Hijiri   or does work around mean the player / server operator, rather than the modder?
17:23 Fixer    usual reminder to review https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/6219
