The new finder code will be committed today - this makes the finder Xrl based
and provides an Xrl interface that the rtrmgr/xorpsh can use to configure and
query finder state centrally. Whilst the new code passes the tests in
libxipc, there are probably a whole host of problems that will only be
revealed when it's run in anger. When you experience finder problems, please
let me know.
The old finder code still exists as a fallback so that if a nasty problems
shows up, people can revert to the old code quickly and continue working
without further interruption. Backwards compatibility is enabled by running
configure with the --enable-original-finder command line flag. You'll then
need to rebuild libxipc and re-link your applications.
Once we are happy with the new code, the old finder code will get moved or
pruned and the file names and classes for the Xrl based finder will get
sanitized (right now we have NG designations, but once there's only one it's
not NG :-).
- Orion
