I am loathe to let a branch lay around for a long time with minimal work being done actively on it and we learned what we wanted to from it in the short time we worked with it I think.
my take-away was that the change the string based keys will be a good change but its large enough that it should be done in the context of some other refactoring and changes. as for the int->long id change, I think its a good thing and will focus us to address the database upgrading issue so its all good imo :) jesse On 1/16/07, Rahul Thakur <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Jesse and myself had a chat yesterday morning about the key-refactoring branch that we spun before Christmas last year, and we reckon that it might be an idea to get 1.1-alpha rolling and meantime gather more thoughts around Groupings (introduce versions/tags). We think having String-based keys for groups might be more feasible for v1.2. However, we are keen to bring over the API changes where the 'int' Ids are now converted to 'long'. Some other bits like breaking up the existing Project and ProjectGroup interfaces can be continued on the trunk itself after the merge. What do others think?
