Perhaps it would be useful to have a period of time where the old names are used for the programs and the new names are symlinks to the old names? Existing scripts would still work while we experiment with the new naming convention. -- John O'Meara On Mon, Apr 2, 2018, 6:39 AM Laurent Bercot wrote: > > Hello, > execline-2.5.0.0 is out. > > It is with a very heavy heart that I must do this release. > User reports have come in by the hundreds and they are almost > unanimous (sorry, Colin): they don't like the 2.4.0.0 change, > pretending it hurts readability (as if), and writability too, > of execline scripts.
