Hi Piotr, I'm afraid my perception is that we need to get to 1.0 in a natural way. I mean: releasing 1.0 and giving exposure in all ways we can (webs, social media, magazines,...), means people will try us. If they try and fail, will never come back. So think about this as "only on bullet in your gun", if you fail de shot, that will be bad for all the work we are done. I'm ok to release 1.0 as soon as we see from "bird eye perspective" that all things work as we expect.
For me that things are: * Documentation will need to have at least some missing pages of features like: DataBindnig, Loading External Data (HTTPSerice, RemoteObject, JSON), View States, Item Renderers. Things like this are essential. * Emulation components need to be in a shape that allow migrations in a good degree. I think people approaching direct migration with emulation components will many issues. I don't take into account look and feel of emulation components, just functionality and working from a flex code perspective, and just normal use cases with MX/Spark code, not third party libraries that we have no control over. Simple apps like TDF, and examples should work. If we decided we want to bypass the previous, at least we need to ensure "first try" of Royale for a newcomer (someone that knows very few about the tech) is successful. This is most important things of all. The other two are needed if we want people does not get frustrated and have solutions on their own and stay with us. The opposite is people can have a first try successful but abandon Royale due to unfinished things. I think 0.9.7-SNAPSHOT captures in a realistic number where we are. Technology works, and most people using it now can do lots of things, but we still need to cover some things to reach that 1.0. We are not too far but I think is still some month in the future. just my 2 :) Carlos El mié., 18 dic. 2019 a las 10:30, Piotr Zarzycki (< [email protected]>) escribió: > Hello, > > This thread is old and this was the last message from me.
