Details: Haven't been using bbdb for about 1.5 - 2 years now but finding a need to start using my old db again. I have bbdb-2.35 still kicking around and not crazy about the idea of converting to v-3.* especially since my usage is really pretty basic. I've tried running it (2.35) in devel emacs-(27) and seems to work but of course I've only tried a few basic things. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

I still drive 1998 and 1979 Ford Trucks. `The replace by date' is problably something like 2008 on the 1998, and 1989 on the 1979. [ (- 2018 1987) 31 - OMG & double Yikes]. I've been using outdated machinery for 31 years. I probably shouldn't have posted that. It might end in me doing time if the `Out dated' police see this. (Or even just for being overly silly .. he he). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

It does! I still stick to it, since vs 3 broke, deliberately I must say, backward compatibility. Since I have a lot of bbdb hacks I must rewrite them, which I still have not find the time to do.

Breaking compatibility was a side effect of getting all of the BBDB code copyright assigned, so that it could be included in GNU. > Since I have a lot of bbdb hacks I must rewrite them, which I still > have not find the time to do. Maybe some of the hacks are no longer required with BBDB 3.x? And if they are, it would be good if BBDB users would file bugs about why the hacks are needed. Now that BBDB 3.x is in GNU ELPA BBDB bugs should actually be fixable (unlike 2.x bugs for which there is no choice but to hack workarounds).
