We had originally discussed compatibility with 8.5.3, but between the necessity of implementing the new methods added in 9 and the utility/performance benefits of using some of them in our code (particularly "getNoteIds()", we ended up sticking with 9 as the baseline.

...if someone wanted to maintain an 8.5.3 compatibility branch.

If there's genuine demand for it, someone will take ownership of managing the releases.

Hello,

It seems that this is not so difficult. I commented out the whole calendar api and did some other minor corrections and it seems that it works now with 8.5.3FP4.

I would like to contribute this, but currently i'm not so familiar with github & branching, used only svn so far. So maybe someone can give me some hints how to begin (and NOT to mess up the repository :)

I also do not know what's the best way to compile it. In 8.5.3 designer i got a lot of warnings (yelow triangles).  In a stand alone eclipse I could not compile it. (As far as I know now, I should have installed the SDK)

Best regards

Roland
