In Wacs 0.9.2 the exisitng WacsId module was split into two - this part WacsID contains the good routines that are expected to remain as part of the Wacs API in the long term. Those routines that were more questionable and likely to be re-written have been moved to WacsDnl. You need to include both to replicate the pre-0.9.2 functionality |
