Hey,
I am currently working on a nice little web based desktop environment,
which I recently ported from 0.7.4 to 3.0.1.
I saw that we are getting new Qx versions out soon and I have a very
generic question.
What is the best policy to keep up with the constantly changing and
evolving Qx API ?
Does it make sense to stay on top of the changes ? If so how frequent
should I update the libraries ?
Should I stay with my current version of 3.0.1 for a couple of years
before I attempt to update ?
Generally speaking, the only versions you really should stay in sync
with are the patch releases (e.g. if you're on 3.0.1 whatever comes in
the 3.0.x line), because these are just bug fixes and can drop-in
replace the previous patch version [1].
As for major/minor versions my personal take is that you can stick with
a version as long as it suits your needs. Only if a newer version
provides *features* you want to take advantage of I would upgrade. Of
course, sticking with a version for years and then going to the latest
release will involve some migration efforts, but I would cross that
bridge when I come to it, and not worry beforehand.

Obviously for larger projects any upgrade will require a lot of
changes and any time I spend on porting is lost time spend on
developing new features.

Ps. The link to JtOS is dead. Can we add http://www.AstraNOS.org
instead ? Should I write up a short description ?

Can't you edit the wiki directly?
