If this were my lib, then I'd fix it happily to comply. If you intend to phase out something and the lib was wrote by someone, regardless who that person is, then they should fix it to comply, as that is less confusing to new users.

Fix it yourself.
#if DM_VERSION<462 This report is like going through each and every library, making a bug report about it, and then complaining when it's not fixed. It's not a BYOND bug, it's a library bug -- it should be taken to it's respective owner. |
DivineTraveller:
That's a pretty nifty code work-around. I realize that this is not an internal BYOND bug... even if Lummox did write the library. I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or anything. It would confuse new users though, and not just for the library mentioned here. Thank you for the polite response and fix code. Is there any place I should request these minor types of issues with 3rd party libraries be fixed? I suppose I could scout around next time. |
