Is there a reason to<br> expect that ibus 1.3 will be developed for a longer period of time than 1.1<br> or 1.2 was? If not, the backport argument doesn't carry much weight with<br> me: yes, it will be easier to backport bug fixes, but only for a short<br> time; and because 1.3 is so fresh, there is much more chance that we will<br> *need* to backport fixes!<br></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>From 1.2 to 1.3, many low level C interfaces have been updated (using the floating IBusObject). It cause most of C source files been changed. I think back porting fixes in C code between 1.3 and 1.2 will be more hard. And 1.3 includes the new feature sharing the global engine. It is asked by many users. So if ubuntu could uses 1.3, it will be better.</div> <div><br></div><div>BTW, currently all IME development is focus on 1.3 too. So I think ubuntu will get more benefit, if it use the ibus-1.3. And it is good for upstream too. it could reduce issues reported for old ibus releases in upstream, and we could be more concentrative on 1.3 bug fixing and future version development. And for us IME developers, they does not need upgrade ibus to 1.3 in ubuntu any more.</div> <div><br></div><div>Wish ubuntu will use the new release.
