The cool new Nokia stuff is using DBus 0.23. It is a price that needs to be paid I guess to foster adoption but as someone who had to port a whole slew of apps from 0.2x to 0.3x I wish they had shipped with the newer APIs. My problem isn’t with the internals using the old API as long as the developers understand that it is going to have to be ported at somepoint. It is the fact that third parties start targetting it because the platform is out there instead of working with the newer APIs that gets me down. However 1.0 couldn’t be achived in a day so I am happy that developers are using the libraries and just want them to understand that the API switch isn’t a walk in the park. Hopefully we can get close to 1.0 by the end of GUADEC. That being said, if I have time during GUADEC I want to look at the DBus code in maemo and get an idea on how much work it would take to port. Cool stuff though. Hopefully I can win one.
