Uhm call me an idiot , but i dont remember anyone mentioning about a complete rewrite and official release of a completely different non compatible version , what happened ? warning ?, this really throws a spanner in the works now
a) all existing legacy code is redundant b) none of the old widgets will work (throwing away 90% of Richards site and many others hard work) c) none of the doccenter is of any use as methods have completely changed d) all current onsite examples are useless e) any new users are going to be completely lost as complexity has increased way above most users needs (needlessy imho) f) the bug/patch center is all irellavent g-z) numerous more complications i can't list at 7am it seems like a hell of lot of work is going to go down the drain which would be a shame as we had a working'ish model, just seems crazy to change everything around when the advent of w3c dom only api's/browsers was nearly upon us, i really enjoyed working with the current methods and options, simple widgets and obj.timeout animation (without path animation fx bloat) everything for me worked fine Iam confused and feel somewhat leftout , i understand that a few tweaks maybe was needed, but this seems like a completely different API , this release just seems way too late by 9months, maybe it should be offered as a paralell release for a few months but by then ns4 will nearly be history a lot of critical changes have been made , making me think far more seriously about ditching NS4 support entirely as at this stage (as dom browsers are v common now and i could lose 90k of code) i don't think iam prepared to learn (and port my widgets again) a whole new API that contains legacy (ns4) code when i might as well learn a w3c dom compatible libary (domapi/domlib/dhtmlib) and port my widgets to that, at least its lifetime and structure is a bit more secure i feel, i really dont want to use flash ;), i dunno , iam confused. can i engage a discussion on this ? your thoughts Andy Short _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dynapi-help
