| 00:06.50 | Constitution | blast007: updating documentation etc. is no longer a target for 2.4.4? |
| 00:07.17 | blast007 | I dunno - didn't want that to hold up a release |
| 00:07.39 | blast007 | wasn't quite sure the best way to regenerate bzflag_xx.po either |
| 00:09.25 | blast007 | and if we update src/bzflag/HelpMenu.cxx, we also need to update translation files (since they translate each line of the help screen) |
| 00:17.10 | Constitution | okay |
| 00:17.45 | Constitution | can't really think of a better time to update that stuff than right before a release, though |
| 00:36.33 | blast007 | I can think of a better time: as things change that make it necessary to change documentation ;) (and I'm also certainly guilty of failing to do that) |
| 00:51.05 | Constitution | true |

| 10:56.47 | blast007 | If I change the return type on functions in the bzfs API, will that screw stuff up? wanting to change some to return bz_ApiString instead of const char*. |
| 13:29.58 | the_map | I'm sure I'm missing something, but unless bz_APIString is always a const char*, wouldn't returning a different type cause an error in any function that needs/expects it to be a const char*? |

| 14:04.41 | blast007 | the_map: not necessarily, since bz_APIString has conversion operators/constructors for std::string and const char* (or maybe just char*) |
| 14:05.24 | blast007 | but the compile time issue is less of a worry. I'm more concerned with the case of mixing old compiled plugins with a new bzfs. |

| 14:15.51 | BulletCatcher | Someone noticed when a URLDone() parameter was changed to const in r22763, but IIRC they were able to recompile. |
| 14:16.22 | BulletCatcher | What is the impact of function overloading in the API? |
| 14:27.38 | the_map | blast007: I was more worried about runtime, and a function not converting the bz_APIString to const char* before use |
| 14:51.41 | blast007 | BulletCatcher: can't only change the return type |
| 15:04.07 | BulletCatcher | My question was more about whether we can simply overload an existing API function rather than creating a _V2 version. |
