Description Pavel Buzek 2002-05-30 12:50:28 UTC

Currently the API documentation only covers the parts of design which are finished, for the rest 
of the features it is hard to find a proposal, design spec. or just a decision written in emails. For 
a better orientation of module developers make the documentation complete in the sence that 
it would cover all features and areas planned for 4.0. Some of them can be unfinished but need 
at least to be mentioned.

Comment 7 Pavel Buzek 2002-07-30 13:20:31 UTC

Must-have features for milestone3, have impact on APIs (at least potential).

Comment 8 Pavel Buzek 2002-11-08 09:25:40 UTC

the docs are completed. they must of course be updated whenever we make changes/additions to APIs.
