It just didn't work. I had a blank page, no error message, no message in the console (but I probably didn't find the way to enable debug messages yet). It tried for several hours to get it to work then abandoned, got rid of all the legacy stuff (doing the simple renames as well) and it started to work quite quickly. With errors at first but I fixed them as I went. The big difference was that at least something appeared and some errors showed up. >> The problem is that when you want to go >> through "route 2", there are apparently no automated script to help >> you: you have lots of "legacy" references that you need to get rid of. >> It would be nice if there was a migration path for those who would >> like to go straight to non-legacy crippled 0.8, as the migration >> script could have done automatically much of the ".legacy" stripping I >> had to do. >> >> * I had to add #asset hints to my code, while it previously worked without. >> > > That's by design, to make resource management more direct and explicit. I didn't mean it as "this is bad". I just meant it as: "I had to change this and it wasn't mentioned in the migration guide nor done by the migration script". -- Gaëtan de Menten http://openhex.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
