View Full Version : Suggestion for 2.2.6 coding to make it easier for our upgrades

Hello,

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but....

It would be great if on each upgrade there was a log telling what lines etc. have been changed so that users with weeks of custom and hacked code in their VB could upgrade.

It would not take much more time and would make your coding better anyway.

lol..

noting all line changes would be an _insane ammount of work_..
the closest thing to an automated setup would be exporting the cvs logs w/ diffs, but whenever a security hole etc is patched, that is not a good idea ;)

changed functions though, would be nice
eg.
function x(some argument, some argument), returns a integer used here and there

and in the next version
function x(some argument, some argument, some optional argument), returns a integer used here and there. if the third argument is used, bla bla bla..

that's really all you need to know, but keeping track of each and every modified line.. :rolleyes:

just my $0.02 ;)
