That would be total overkill. I guess I shouldn't have introduced APIVERSION in the first place, since, as you stated, it just takes a 'make plugins'. Oh well, so I'll bump up the API version, drop all the '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and include Stefan's 'libsi' fixes
My .02â¬: please keep APIVERSION, but please also don't be afraid to bump it whenever needed. No need to introduce #if madness. APIVERSION is a convenience and shouldn't prevent real fixes or enhancements from entering the codebase.
Yep agree with this. :) +1 ;)

As soon as APIVERSION avoids fixes or useful improvments (i.e. director plugin :-)) it should be dropped. As already mentioned before there are so many patches which chamge the api, that the APIVERSION is not a very reliable way to avoid the need of recompiling plugins. Anyway is it a big mess to recompile the plugins? This additinal step while compiling a new vdr version should not take too long.
