Oh, the Platform has very strict standards about APIs,
What is an API? The package versioning policy only seems to talk about types and function signatures. John's old-locale example shows that this is not enough.
I would think that the API is all the functions/classes/datatypes/instances/etc. exported from the library in combination with their types.
Would it perhaps make sense for at least the Platform to require packages to have unit tests and to require versions to be bumped whenever those change (sufficiently)?
I don't get this; just because someone changes a unit test (because they thought of a new case, etc.) they should bump the package version even if all the changes were internal and not exported? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
