Description Matthew Barnes 2007-03-16 14:06:03 UTC 
The minimum required version of GLib for both Evolution and E-D-S has progressed beyond 2.8.  We're already using features introduced in GLib 2.10 (e.g. GSlice), and I have a few proposed patches for Evolution 2.11/2.12 that use features introduced in GLib 2.12 (e.g. the Base64 API).

With the next Evolution development cycle starting, this might be a good time to prune some dead backward-compatibility code.

Proposed patch for evolution

This one is pretty minor.

Just for the record, I also checked evolution-exchange and gtkhtml but didn't find any explicit backward-compatibility code.
