Re: [Monotone-devel] Version 0.46 breaks monotone-viz and mtn-browse

[Anthony Edward Cooper]

Hello,

I am aiming to look at this this weekend. Hopefully this will be the
biggest break in protocol for some time. I can see the need.

I will not be supporting the ticker stream stuff other than perhaps, at
most shoving the raw data down a file descriptor (i.e. a pipe), as to do
more does not make much sense in a function call-return paradigm.

Nuno - Can you not stick with 0.45 for the time being? Also how did that
code set menu work out? (Can reply to me directly).

Cheers,

Tony.
