Greetings All
Apple is hoping to remove some old System Configuration framework
APIs from the framework in Jaguar. These APIs were never officially
made public, although it's possible that some developers might be
using them to provide programmatic network setup on Mac OS X 10.0.x.
Before we remove these APIs we need to make sure we won't break
anyone, or if we do break them, that they have a new version in place
before we ship Jaguar.
The APIs in question are the Mac OS X 10.0.x versions of the System
Configuration framework APIs, for example SCDOpen, SCDClose, SCDGet,
and SCDSet.
The officially supported System Configuration APIs
(SCPreferencesCreate, SCDynamicStoreCreate, and so on), which were
made public with Mac OS X 10.1, will continue to work on Jaguar and
for the foreseeable future.
Note that the WWDC Jaguar seed supports both the old and the new
APIs, so testing on that build is not enough to guarantee
compatibility. The acid test is to check for any references to
System Configuration framework APIs that aren't in the Mac OS X 10.1
public headers.
If you are using any non-public System Configuration APIs, please
contact me directly.
