I never made that comparison. I was pointing out that "not being in  
the license" is not a reason something should not be expected to be  
supported.

Are you kidding? Of my suggestions, #1 has already been done. #2  
requires a new build of Valentina that simply *reverts* the addition  
of one API function.

Paradigmasoft is not behemoth like Microsoft or Apple. We're dealing  
with Ruslan here (Ivan isn't involved in this AFAIK). I've worked with  
Valentina and Ruslan since version 1, and he releases betas all the  
time.

Like all of us here, I'm a developer. When something in my app breaks  
because of changes outside of my control, I fix it for my users ASAP  
if I can. You are probably technically correct that there is no legal  
obligation for Valentina to be compatible with the MAS. But you're  
wrong to think it's not important. And you're wrong if you think it's  
an unacceptable burden to make it compatible. Version 4.9 was, version  
4.9.1 is (perhaps) not. I'm not interested in pedantic arguments (so  
I'm not going to be drawn into a discussion about Pardigma's  
"obligations"). I'm interested in a solution. And I'm sure Ruslan is,  
too.
