Hi,

I do not agree on this. There is no way to make sure people are not using it.
Even if it is unlikely the new release might break for some of our users or just
rely on something that is not available for everyone.
Apart from this I do not see much of a reason for removing it at all.

Greetings

Florian

  based on a couple earlier comments, i'll agree.  so what's the
proper protocol for adding a newer version?  just submit a patch that
*adds* the appropriate content while leaving the current version info
in place?  i can easily submit a patch for that.

  by the way, i did check the changelog first to see if the
enhancements were useful enough to warrant upgrading.  the changelog:

http://linux.softpedia.com/progChangelog/I2C-Tools-Changelog-31650.html

What's new in I2C Tools 3.0.2:
· Error handling has been improved.
· Buses can now be passed by name.
· A compatibility issue with perl 5.10.0 has been fixed.

that struck me as sufficiently useful to warrant an upgrade, but maybe
not.
