19:11 Krock     does #10340 need adoption to properly implement the checks?

19:13 sfan5     dunno but could be done
19:18 Krock     5.4.0 in december? interesting.
19:18 Krock     merging
19:48 clavi     MTG requires the same or higher MT version to run, right?
19:49 Krock     development MTG needs development engine
19:49 clavi     sure, but what about say MT 5.2 with MTG 5.3
19:50 Krock     might not work, but could.
19:50 clavi     in my experience it often doesn't
19:50 clavi     but I just wanted to confirm that this is expected, not something I did wrong
19:51 clavi     what about new Minetest version with old, or even very old Minetest Game?
19:52 Krock     old MTG versions generally work better, but they'll lack some features and bugfiyes
19:52 clavi     could an old MTG version use some engine function that's not there anymore in a new MT and lead to bugs?
19:53 Krock     Minetest Game is just a bunch of mods, and Minetest has to ensure those have to work for quite a while. No worries there.
19:54 clavi     okay, thanks
19:54 Krock     !next
19:54 ShadowBot Another satisfied customer. Next!
20:00 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> Old MTG versions (or versions of anything really) might depend on API features that have been deprecated or even removed.  That's probably the biggest risk in trying to use old mod code with newer engines.
20:01 Krock     I'm assuming we're talking about 5.0.0 until master. wouldn't recommend older versions for security and bug reasons
20:35 sfan5     or old mtg versions might have a bug that only breaks with new engine versions
20:35 sfan5     like the recent collision info thing with item entities
21:35 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> Would like to get an experimental version of #9907 into 5.4 - would identifier sanitation be enough for you?

21:38 sfan5     "identifier sanitation"?
21:39 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> basically not allowing long identifiers (probably sanitizing them by replacing them with shorter ones) because of bugs on older graphics stacks
21:40 MTDiscord <a​ppguru> "The shader section states clearly that shaders themselves are not the problem, you just need to sanitize identifiers to prevent tripping potential bugs in the compiler. This can be as simple as rejecting or mangling alphanumeric blobs longer than a certain length." - hecktest
21:44 MTDiscord <W​arr1024> Make sure your identifier sanitizer is at least 70% alcohol
