DynAPI 2.5.6 is released. Primarily a maintence release. Word on the street is that DynAPI creator Dan Steinman is back and working on a new DynAPI version which may fork from the SourceForge project. I’m not sure how I feel about this. Not that it hasn’t happened before; there are several DynAPI2 variants floating around out there, including Pascal’s DynaCore and Mike Pemberton’s AfroAPI (and not to mention the ill-fated, super-secret “Nemo” project developed by Brandon Myers and myself; alas, it is not available).

If developers are going to insist on calling their projects “DynAPI,” I would hope that they would at least agree on a core set of methods and properties and stick with those. Not only would it keep previous widgets from breaking, it would be easier to migrate from one API to another if desired. I mean, I understand the strange developer compulsion to “do it all myself,” but I generally frown on forking for the sake of wanting things your way.
