Bayes GUID Work
| Version | Behavior |
|---|---|
| 2.7.2 | Converts bayes import map to GUID, and sets GNC_FEATURE_GUID_BAYESIAN. Reads and writes only GUIDs. Sets the GUID_BAYESIAN feature when the conversion is run, or anything is added to the import map. |
| 2.6.18 | When reading the import map, if a record is found under account name, it will be used, otherwise if an account is found by GUID, it will be used. When writing to the import map, if a slot is not found under the account name but is found under the GUID, the GUID record is used. |
The Old Plan
In the next 2.7 release (2.7.3?), if GNC_FEATURE_GUID_BAYESIAN is not set, a conversion will take place to change all the import maps to guid and flat[1]. Only this 2.7 release will set the feature flat.
The next 2.6 release (2.6.19?), when GNC_FEATURE_GUID_BAYESIAN is set, all reads and writes will be done in the new style. If it is not, all reads and writes will be in the old style.
The Problem
If books are created in 2.7.2, then bayes entries are added in 2.6.18, the import map will be mixed. If this is then read by either the new 2.7 release or the new 2.6 release, they will fail to get all information.
The New Plan
The next 2.7 release (2.7.3?) should have a new feature: GNC_FEATURE_FLAT_GUID_BAYESIAN. It will only be set by this and subsequent releases. When it is set, the import maps will be converted.
The next 2.6 release (2.6.19?) will be able to read the feature GNC_FEATURE_FLAT_GUID_BAYESIAN.
If books are created in 2.7.2, then edited in 2.6.18 to make a mixed-import-map situation, then loaded in the new 2.7 release, what should happen?
- ↑ Only the bayes import maps are "flat"; the "regular" import maps retain their dimensionality.
