    Just got a request to update my Tiny_TTF library in LVGL to support 9.0 features in the dev branch. Alright, so I set up a build and test environment. Whoops, they've completely broken the API. I can't even get anything to compile. The docs don't reflect the latest changes. Why even ask me to do this if you're not prepared? Am I to the learn the API telepathically? I don't have time for this. X|

        I've messaged them. I'm waiting on a response. It's just frustrating that they'd ask for something they're totally not prepared for. I guess maybe I expect a lot? Oh well. I'm already over it. It was just irritating in the moment.

            It wasn't the PR that didn't compile, but my attempt at using it. It's a library. But they've changed the API and haven't documented the changes yet so I can't use it. The previous way of using it does not compile.

              just be honest and state the request to upgrade will be delayed.

                  Reminds me of the Java 1 to Java 2 update, sometime in 1997/98. From what I remember, Java 2 made sure that most of Java 1 code did not work. That was the time I learnt a new word - 'deprecated'. There was so much frustration in my office at that time.

                      keep that in mind with your own docs.

                      I have created many interfaces to non-trivial systems. I have just gotten used to it. I remember one case where the certification problem for a credit card processor was settled between two of their techs (not me) by one of them declaring that the account was theirs so I would just need to follow what they said and not the other tech.
