Hi Andreas,
ok, maybe I was a bit too quick to complain about the wrong thing,
because I was frustrated. Sorry.
What I meant was a svn checkout from "trunk" - and even it is not
worth your time or mine to find out what exactly happped, my 0.5.x
checkout from a some did not complain about the "key" attribute and
showed a nice shortcut hint in the menuBarButton. No idea how this
can be if it is like you're saying. But it must be my mistake. The
problem was that the whole application stopped working with the new
update. But the reason was probably a different one, and that can
always happen with a CVS/SVN snapshot.
But even if I was wrong about the particular example, I would still
maintain that keeping backward compatibility as much as it is
meaningfully possible is a valuable goal. I have upgraded my dojo
library continually and never had to change a single line of code,
even though they changed the code alot internally.
However the problem with compatibility is in my opinion, that
sometimes this bloats the API and slows it down. If we really support
older API versions sometimes, we should remove this compatibility
after a while. And this is hard to manage quite good I think.

Seems to me that when qooxdoo 1.0 is released would be the time to start
really worrying about maintaining backwards compatibility for future
releases (at least until v2.0 comes out). For those of us using, or
considering using qooxdoo for real work at the moment, having to do
re-writes of code to take advantage of the newer releases improvements,
is just part of the game!
Although I'm just a bit of a lurker on this list & don't (yet) have
anything to contribute, I must say that I find the entire project, its
organization, atmosphere and results to be quite impressive! Looking
forward to using this one day in the not to distant future.
Keep up the great work gang!
-Chris
