We use libconfuse in tilda and often have the problem that we want to deprecate config options but this leads to problems:
When the config option is still present in the config file (e.g. for upgrading users) then libconfuse throws an error and we need to reset the config.
We are currently discussing if we replace libconfuse with another config library due to this, or if we are going to add a new feature to libconfuse. I would like to know if this project is still being actively maintained/developed and how likely it is that a patch will be accepted into libconfuse. If a patch would be accepted, then we might add a CFGF_DEPRECATED to the list of flags that causes libconfuse to ignore the config value and drop it when the config file is saved next. Possibly we could also split this into separate flags with a CFGF_DROP flag.
Please let us know what your plans with libconfuse are and if we can somehow help you.
