Hello Dirk,

this is impossible. I cannot automatically detect if there are incompatible changes in remotecontrol.

You are right. If I go this way I can only add a comment that updating the API version is important, but I cannot make sure that I or future developers will never forget to update it.

The only possible thing would be to automatically update the API version on every change. But in this case it does not provide any advantage over using the SVN revision.

I think I will keep it simple:
WMSPlugin will not only check for a minimum SVN revision of remotecontrol but also for a maximum revision. Whenever remotecontrol gets recompiled with a new SVN revision, wmsplugin has to be updated. I will replace console messages with a normal message window to inform the user about this incompatibility.

What do you think about this solution?
