[openi18n-im:01483] Re: Announcement: iiim Palette function works now

Hi, Kasha,

    I know the compatibility of iiimp problem. The
task is on its half way, only GCF support the new
AuxDraw event, or Aux Event. Many other modules needed
to be changed.

    First, I think the compatibility problem should
not be a barrier for us to enhance new features. Since
currently we provide Server/Client simutaniously. So
there is no backward compatability problem in real 
application. 

    Even when the compatability is achieved in the iiimp
level, we can imagine the new LEs with new feature still
will not work well if older client connected, since client
can not understand the New LE's feature.

    Let's just provide the feature ASAP, guys.
