Greetings. We have an evolving application that adds new classes, changes existing classes and disposes of old classes. Adding new classes is no problem. We have a solution to the dreaded 'change instance variable of a class and try to read in old versions problem' that works for us so changing classes is no problem. However, we have now tried to dispose of a class. No problem... Just link in 'Unknown' and the old references will be read in and blown away. Surprise surprise. The code for handling 'Unknown' in Filer.m has been commented out. Furthermore, the interface to Unknown has changed so even if we compiled it back in it would still bomb. Sooo, we have left the old class linked in. Question: Has anyone successfully used Unknown?? If so, can they share the method for getting it work. Enquiring minds want to know! We are running objc 4.0.
