I did not know openhanded but, as a KNX hacker, I’m going to go be it a try right in the weekend. As a “non user” so far, take this opinion as JMH one. If I understand well option 1 means a loss of features potentially in use from someone, option 2 means slowing the upgrade. Sad to say: my advice is for #3, make a separate port, mark the old one as “feature freeze, unsupported” and go on. Keep an eye on dependencies, it’s unlikely but if some other port depends on the current one/version… drop a note to the maintainers. Cheers, A.
