If you don't use extensions with FGC or FGU then you can ignore this message entirely.
I don't really get the impression that the general population realizes that on or around Feb 16 a new version of the fantasy grounds application, in TEST now, will move to LIVE. That is the version everyone gets updates and uses in general. These changes will require extensions to be updated that are impacted by some of the changes mentioned in here (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?65776-Beta-Release-2021-02-Ruleset-Updates) (see additional link in there for more specific details).
THAT MEANS YOUR EXTENSIONS MAY START MISBEHAVING OR GO BOOM AFTER THAT UPDATE.
Unless they are modified and updated themselves. That is supposedly for FGC and FGU as I understand it. I've been working on mine the last few days, pointing out anything I find as I go. Some extensions are not effected or barely effected. Others are blown out of the water.
I feel you need to be ready for this whether you are a user of extensions or are a developer of extensions. Some extensions you may use may no longer be supported - in which case you'd have to change them for your own personal use if they have problems.
There are posts in various parts of the forums - but I believe only the forum elite who scourer the forums on a regular basis are actually aware of this. Even putting this message in here I'm sure there will be "shock and awe" on update day and claims of "but, I didn't know this!".
This is my attempt to notify you in a more general public forum.
These updates are a good thing, you should realize, as they are needed architectural changes for things to come. No pain - no gain.
Yeah, the messenger usually gets shot - but that's ok. Won't be the first time in here when I notify info I think is relevant to community regarding extension related things :)
