The API level concept is something used by other projects such as Android and iOS to allow deprecated features to be removed and the bahavior to be altered without breaking compability with existing code. The same will apply to AwesomeWM. The current API level is "4" and as long as config use this, no deprecation or bahavior change will be exposed. If the user sets it to an higher value or we release the next major version and new users start to use the, then current, default config, they will use the new API level. The the far future, if ever, we could fork the entire Lua libraries to support legacy APIs. This would only require to keep the core API support for those legacy calls. In the meantime, `gears.debug` will use this to manage the deprecation and some conditional code will be added as a last resort attempt to preserve behavior compatibility while moving forward with breaking changes. |
