03:08 MTDiscord   <jordan4ibanez> How do minetest mod developers feel about having labeled portions of the game.conf and possibly the mod.conf? https://github.com/jordan4ibanez/minetest-rust/blob/master/games/minetest/game.conf

22:39 Mantar      Hey, that new item texture modifier thing in 5.8.0, where metadata changes textures, is that  backwards compatible? If I have a server running 5.8.0 and somebody connects with an old client or whatever, will it work or do I need to swap items out for them?
23:22 rubenwardy  it requires a 5.8.0 client, the server version does not matter
23:22 rubenwardy  so to support 5.7 and below, you'd need to use another technique
23:24 DeepThgt    wait there were features added in .8? i thought there was a feature freeze
23:24 DeepThgt    or was that a freeze to get .8 ready to release
23:25 rubenwardy  there's a freeze before every release to fix bugs and such
23:25 DeepThgt    ok was misunderstanding, ty
23:37 Mantar      ok, so I gotta detect the client and decide whether to use the new texture feature or just swap items like before
