My understanding is that the halo finding interfaces have all been updated by Hilary in 3.0 and that they did not work at all prior to that. On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 4:32 PM, Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:
Do the old VR and halo interfaces work? Not much effort has gone into porting them, I think.

I'm +1 on this, particularly since I'm at fault for not pushing on the VR as much as I'd like to.

Hi all,
One thing we really tried to do with 3.0 was break all the APIs we thought we'd need to before release. This included things like ds/pf, index/hierarchy, the way data selections were made, etc.
It's starting to become clear that we are approaching maturity at different rates in these initiatives. I am wondering if perhaps we should de-couple the release from all of the API breakages, and instead note which interfaces we know are going to change in the future.
Pragmatically, what this would mean is:
* Release a 3.0 with the old VR and halo finding interfaces * Release a 3.1 with either the new VR or the new halo finding (or both) * Do the same for 3.2
This doesn't fit with the usual "major numbers are where APIs break" philosophy that comes from semantic versioning, but I think from the perspective of pragmatism, if we identify those sections of the code that are *going* to change, and we pitch 3.0 as the first part of a staged release of totally rewritten infrastructure, we can likely come out okay.
I'd like to put this out there for discussion.
