Description John Arthorne CLA 2010-06-15 10:51:22 EDT 
As discussed in previous e4 meetings, all of our provisional API needs to be marked in the bundle manifest with x-friends or x-internal so clients can distinguish full platform API from provisional API.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2010-06-22 09:57:42 EDT 
This has been done. There are more x-friends clauses to be added to reduce warnings, but it is not high priority.
Comment 2 Oleg Besedin CLA 2010-06-25 10:46:10 EDT 
Sorry, there are 20+ thousand warnings in e4 bundles. This makes warnings unusable.
Comment 3 John Arthorne CLA 2010-06-25 16:14:53 EDT 
I have fixed the remaining warnings in the bundles to be included in 4.0. There are some that could not be fixed because they are references to 3.x bundle internals.

I also didn't fix demos, tests, etc, since that would require adding them as friends of the bundles being shipped, which is strange.

There are now about 2000 of these warnings in my workspace, out of about 18,000 warnings in total. In the end I don't know if this makes warnings much more useful to anyone because there are still so many other kinds of warnings...
