What if will not update libAsync in Stonethorns?

hey guys so there is a dilemma
old usefull addon only works with old version of libAsync

but new usefull addons now have dependancy of new version of libAsync

i tried to fix old addon but without success (author mia also)
if i will continue to use old libAsync and old votan's minimap, and old versions of other addons that will be changed to use new libAsync, they all will work with new DLC that coming soon?
or will be various issues

(That's what it sounds like to me - or maybe I'm just craving some cake?)
The answer is - it may work or maybe not, but most likely it won't work for long. DLC updates always change lots of things and have many effects on addons. Not updating your addons will cause issues one way or another. If you plan to not update your addons you also have to be aware that you should not expect help with any problems you get. Authors will always expect you to use the latest version of all addons, so if you try to report a problem you get with older versions, they will without a doubt turn you away until you update.

A potential workaround would be to rename the old version of LibAsync and then call the renamed version of it on the addons that can't work with the new version. Potentially would avoid conflicts, but as has already been said: any issues you encounter with some rigged together group of outdated addons will eventually break and no one will be likely to fix them. It becomes a matter of how much effort you want to put into continuing to use them a little bit longer versus moving on.

i found solution, working with new libAsync, but everything else remains the same in the addon, libStub and old libEventHandler

i hope those two libs will work well
