Shaun,

You know that you think far far forward to most of us and tend to use very
cool techniques.

We need time to get used to your ideas. I think this will take few months...

We need see your demo, then start play with one ADK (RB and Rev) for
example...Later may be port to others.

I can say that I VERY LIKE similar idea implemented in Revolution !!!
I self already have few times did in Revolution just "upgrade to new
version" and it have download and install new engine self transparently for
me. And now my Revolution IDE contains few engine version in the same time.
I can even switch between them. Looks impressive.

Kiril, after this have say: may be we need such thing in Valentina Studio?

Shaun push this  idea even future: integrate this into PLUGIN ADKs so
Valentina developers will benefit from this also...

Sounds cool. But step by step :-)


P.S. Btw Shaun, I have found where we can use that run-arrays in Valentina!
     in indexes. Should produce more compact indexes. And what I like most
    of all really ZERO overhead for this feature.
