Thanks. I just emailed laszlo-user with my proposal.

Ah.
API changes are supposed to be written up and circulated on
[email protected] for comment.
For OL itself, we do try to follow a process as you outline where the old API
works with a deprecation warning for at least one release. Perhaps that is not
necessary for an incubator component. It seems like it would be a thing to
propose with your API and see what comments you get.

Hi Tucker,
Thanks for the info. I was actually referring to the process for a change that
would make a significant change to the API.
Do I just make my change and submit the proposal as described in
Code_Review_Process if it's an incubator component? i.e. we don't have to go
through a period where both the new API and the old API would work concurrently
then deprecate the old API, then finally remove it?

It's mostly driven by the review tool, documented here:

We'd welcome your contribution, so feel free to ask more questions if the above
is not clear.

Hi all,
I was working with the fileupload class today and realized that its API is was never
really updated to use events. If I remember correctly, this was written before the
days of an LZX<event> tag. I filed this bug to track it:
http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-8729
Basically, most OpenLaszlo classes that have asynchronous actions send an event
to tell you when the action is done. (e.g. lz.dataset.ondata, onerror...). But
fileupload is weird - you have to override methods.
What's the process for updating this? I can do the work of updating it (there's
not a whole lot), but is there an approvals process I'd need to go through?
It's an incubator component, which is why I'm volunteering to do it - I'm
assuming it'll be a straightforward API that can change in a future release.
Thanks,
Antun
