For the last 6 months or so, most of the changes made to the 1.2 core code have been with regards to test coverage. Very little (if any) of the most commonly used API has changed, and I think the developers have been pretty clear that not much will change either. For the most part, websites I put together in March 2008 still function perfectly fine with the latest version of the core code.
Upgrading from 1.1 to 1.2, however, does require a bit of work, because of the changes made to the way the HTML helper forms work. Also, so many more people are focused on 1.2, that if there are any major vulnerabilities or performance problems discovered, they will be found quickly making its use relatively safe from a project management standpoint. -Aran On Dec 7, 12:26 pm, "Ed Howland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks to all. > > That gives me comfort esp. wrt to unit testing. > > Ed > > > > On Sun, Dec 7, 2008 at 2:02 PM, lightglitch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Despite being in RC3 I already use it in some productions projects > > without > > any problems.
