I apologise for posting a development related topic on this forum but I am getting no-where with vBulletin.org and would really appreciate some input from one of the vBulletin developers.
I currently have an application built on top of vBulletin 3.8 using the standard "include 'global.php';" method. Luckily, it appears this method also works in version 4.0. However after reading deeper into the vB code it is mentioned that the legacy bootstrapping method will eventually be removed.
My question is: When the legacy method is removed, will our applications break? Or will you keep support open for this method of bootstrapping? If not then, is there any documentation on perhaps creating a "package" like the vBulletin CMS? I would really like to keep my application future proof and not have to rewrite it in the future.
