Recently, migration effort from 0.7.2 to 0.7.3 was conducted. This is a great
new milestone and many known issues and workarounds vanished.
Congratulations! Once again, qooxdoo surpasses itself!

On the other hand, I'd like to share a few thoughts with the community,
hopping to help whoever also bumps at the same issues and also providing
some feedback on things not directly related to source code.



Framework source code:


http://qooxdoo.org/about/release_notes/0.7.3#tree_virtual Removed obsolete
and broken calls to setRowColors(). Formerly, row colors were defined
internally, but other recent changes have moved that into the theme. 
Unfortunately, a regression in qx.ui.treevirtual.CheckBoxTree was created
during the process.
http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776 A bug was attached .


http://qooxdoo.org/about/release_notes/0.7.3#table_widget The statusbar text
is now created by the localization manager, and therefore can easily be
translated. 
This was an odd one! With the upgrade, I noticed a «regression» in status
bar text: "one row" was shown even if when no rows existed.
Although I was tempted to change Table class in the first place, I realized
this was a localization issue and propose a change in Manager class, though
small colateral damage is introduced: French and Brazilian Portuguese are
now broken, although most other languages are corrected (see URL in patch
for details).
http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777 A bug was attached .



http://qooxdoo.org/about/release_notes/0.7.3#tool_chain make lint Makefile
target for code validation of any skeleton-based application. 
In first tests, I've noticed "make lint" is not available in "global"
Makefiles, such as in "frontend/application". Should it be?



http://qooxdoo.org/about/release_notes/0.7.3#table_widget Removed support of
pane focus states in Table code. The following color names were removed from
qooxdoo themes: table-focus-indicator-active, focused-selected-blur,
table-row-background-focused-blur, table-row-background-selected-blur. 
Minor detail: "table-row-background-focused-blur" and
"table-row-background-selected-blur" are still found in "Luna Blue" theme.
http://bugzilla.qooxdoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778 A bug was attached .



Quick start and skeleton:

The SDK brings quick start (qooxdoo-0.7.3-quickstart.zip) and skeleton
(qooxdoo-0.7.3-skeleton.zip) embed in the archive (qooxdoo-0.7.3-sdk.zip),
located in "frontend/application".
Although this may seem useful in a few circumstances, IMHO I believe these
should be kept appart, as they are already available using the 
http://qooxdoo.org/download download link 



Object and compiled files:

Several "pyo" and "pyc" files came in the distribution. I believe this
wasn't intended, as these are compiled files.



I hope that all this can be addressed in 
http://qooxdoo.org/about/roadmap#release_0.7.4 next release !

Best regards,

  Helder Magalhães
