Good question. I hope to get a chance to play around with 1.9 and Haml over the next couple weeks. Depending on how soon I get around to this, and of course how difficult the compatibility is, it may take anywhere between a week and a couple months.
As to the specific nature of the support, that depends on how extensive the changes will have to be. Ideally, we'd like to have one codebase support both versions, but unless the changes are very minimal, this is unlikely. Next best would be to have several places in the code where we check the version and act accordingly, but even that might not be workable. Stuff like the mechanics of handling individual characters is so different between the versions that we may just end up having separate Ruby 1.8 and Ruby 1.9 branches. We'll likely keep up support for 1.8 until 1.9 is very widely adopted. It's hard to tell how long that'll take. - Nathan russellc wrote: > apologies if this has already been asked. what are the plans for ruby > 1.9 support in haml? > > RC > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haml" group.
