[Sugar-devel] Backwards compatible Browse

[Wade Brainerd]

I cloned Browse v114 and spent a few hours hacking on backwards
compatibility.  I added compatibility fallbacks for the toolbars and a
few other modules.

The repository is here:
http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/backwards-compatibility

On OLPC build 8.2.0, the patched Browse v114 starts and basically
works.  A few features like typeahead find are broken and beyond my
ability to trivially fix, but someone with more experience hacking
XPCOM could probably figure it out quickly.

Is there any interest in re-forging the compatibility chain, so that
the latest Browse will work on old versions of Sugar?

Best,
Wade
