Re: [Elementary-Dev-Community] Vala Version and Luna

 

Not all our projects have the same needs in regard to this topic. We've
been using Vala 0.16 for a long while, and so far it has produced stable
code. Unless a project needs a newer version of a certain vapi file (and
cannot ship it for some reason), or is suffering from a bug in valac-0.16,
it should stick to the current version. Furthermore, at this point we have
no time to fix the enormous amount of deprecation warnings the switch would
produce.
