The deprecation (or at least pending deprecation) of string exceptions should be mentioned in the doc. There is no mention in ref 4.2: Doc/ref/ref4.tex. I'm not sure if the references to using strings should be removed or left in with a note/warning that string exceptions are deprecated and should be removed. I'll make the fix. Just let me know how to proceed.

Logged In: YES user_id=3066 I'll suggest this approach: Remove all mention of string exceptions from the main text, and then add a child subsection (or whatever) or a "notice"** that describes string exceptions and their deprecated status. The C API reference already discusses the deprecation, but that could stand to be updated to mention the PendingDeprecationWarning. When your changes are ready, commit them to CVS; it's easier for me to look at them once their in. And I'm sure you'll do reasonable things. ;-) ** "notice" is a LaTeX environment in the Python styles: \begin{notice} text goes here \end{notice}

Logged In: YES user_id=33168 Ok, I've removed all the references I found. Hope it looks good. Checked in as: * api/exceptions.tex: 1.15 * doc/doc.tex: 1.72 * lib/libexcs.tex: 1.52 * lib/libsys.tex: 1.64 * ref/ref4.tex: 1.36 * ref/ref6.tex: 1.65
