API changes for v. 2.4

Post by JeffM »

We have made some breaking changes to the API for version 2.4.

Plug-ins written for 2.0.x will not load in BZFS 2.3.4 or later.

I have written up a basic document on the changes to the API and some step by step on how to upgrade plug-ins. here http://my.bzflag.org/wiki/index.php?tit ... .4_Upgrade

All of the standard plug-ins have been updated to be used as samples as well.

Once plug-ins are upgraded to 2.4 they will not load in 2.0.x but will not require changes for future versions ( not even a recompile)

Thanks for the new documentation Jeff. it's very appreciated :D I'm assuming the plugins distributed with BZFlag 2.3 are already in the new format so they can be used as examples?
