Yeah but on the other hand we shouldn't go rushing in features because we're worried about breaking builds later on. Two points : firstly we are reccomending that people use nightly builds *now* which means that they'll get broken builds anyway and secondly, the amount of changes since 0.84 means that updrading users will get a slew of deprecated messages. Thats not a big problem but I mention it to make the point that upgrading will have a 'cost' regardless of which release we target features too.----- Original Message ----- From: "Malcolm MacLucas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jaroslaw Kowalski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Troy Laurin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 21, 2004 9:02 PM Subject: Re: [Nant-users] Re: [nant-dev] Typed properties
road mapAfter thinking about it for a bit, I'll repeat what I said earlier, Typed properties would be cool.
That being said, I think that it should be looked at and placed on the
somewhere down the road. Around .87 or .88.
Not sure, we really should make sure we don't have to break people's build files when we introduce typed properties at that stage ...
My view is that adding typed properties is a significant change with the potential to add complexity to builds. I can see the problems that can be solved by their addition but I'm not yet convinced that they are sufficent justification. It seems to me that it will be more complicated than just adding a type attribute. What types will we support ? just basic string, int, bool etc or the full CLR type system ?
