Can I use PTF with Prelude 0.8.x ?
Not directly, but yes. You need to follow the PTF installation guide
and install the libprelude and libpreludedb components
as explained there. Just make sure you use the --prefix configure
option to install the two libraries separately from your existing Prelude
installation.
Since the database layout did not change (only the internal layer did), you will
then be able to access the databases with both your existing tools and programs,
and the PTF.
Why doesn't PTF work with Prelude 0.8.x directly?
PTF is using the libpreludedb layer made by Krzysztof Zaraska from the
Prelude Core Team. It is going to be integrated in future Prelude versions
but fortunately, as we answered above, you don't have to wait for it:
the standard and the libpreludedb version can coexist on the system.
