.I attempted to migrate a large
cmd2
application from version 2.7.0 to 3.0.0rc1 and spent 10 hours on the effort and still wasn't done. The numerous backwards incompatibilities make it more difficult for users than it could be.This is one small attempt to start in the direction of reducing some of the more painful backwards incompatibilities.
This is a concept I'm not fully sold on. I'm just looking for ways to simplify the process of upgrading by reducing backwards incompatibilities.
