#39 Please port to mxml-4

[ConiKost]

Hi!
Some time ago, mxml-4 has been released, which is not API compatible with mxml-3. Could you please consider porting to mxml-4? See: https://github.com/michaelrsweet/mxml/releases

Thank you!
Conrad

We are aware of this. However most distros are still using V3. Such an incompatible change is going to be difficult to resolve effectively :(
We may consider migrating away from XML

Thanks for the reply! Do you see any chance just to support both versions? In Gentoo, we still have both versions. But as - me, the maintainer - I would like to get mxml-3 removed in future, as most project have now patches :-) Thanks!

We are currently looking at the possibility of supporting both versions - our
users seem to run on quite a wide range of distro versions.

Thanks! That sounds promising. Hope you find a way to support both :-)

Just an update to let you know that this is now in progress, but it might take
a while.

As a matter of interest, the differences are so significant that debian is
proposing to support both versions but with slightly different IDs so that they
can co-exist.

Thanks for the update! In Gentoo, we have the same approch and currently mxml is slotted, so v3 and v4 can be both installed at the same time.
