I think the project page with wiki, etc. is a great idea. I think you
could get some more help on completing the documentation if it was
wiki-based, as well as perhaps having an examples or tips-and-tricks
section that those of us using the product could contribute to. It seems
that several people have put up Reactor pages on their blogs or sites,
so it would be nice to either link to those from a central place or
incorporate those ideas into a wiki site. For those outside this mailing
list, I don't know that anyone would guess how much discuss and
progression is going on with this project. Your blog certainly doesn't
give it away :-)
Anyway, thanks for your advice on upgrading versions. We'll see how it
works (but not tonight).

I certainly want to formalize a change log process, but there's not one in

particular, I want to track changes based on code given by the community.
Right now I don’t have any thankyous, which just feels wrong to me.
I've been considering taking up Simeon on his offer to host the project and
put up a "Track" which provides SVN access, a wiki, a road map for the
project and more. (Not to mention an actual project page.)
Anyhow, I think once I hit beta I'll start keeping track of that stuff.
Here's my general advice on moving from older versions to newer versions:
1) Delete the generated files.
2) Copy all your custom code out into a safe location.
3) Updated your config file
4) Regenerate all files
5) Copy your custom code into the correct locations.
6) Fix the Iterator-related issues
7) Test and fix other minor bugs.

Well, I was about to reply that I didn't know how to check the current
version of SNV but with tortoise you have an additional tab in folder
properties that gives you that info. I don't know what kind of SNV software
you're using but it should be some way to track it.
Since we had so many changes since the beginning, I usually export reactor
to a <head-revision> folder so I can then track if any previous code is
broken.
Anyway, a change log would be great, but I understand that Doug maybe
doesn't have that much time.

Subject: [Reactor For CF] changelog? versioning?
Doug:
You have done a tremendous amount of work on Reactor and have put
together a great and useful tool--thank you! In order to get a project I
was working on completed, I was "forced" to check the Reactor code-base
out of SVN at a certain point and commit to using it as it was without
continuously updating it. Since then, judging by this mailing list, you
have made many changes to the code, some of which are significant and
API-related. Now I realize this is officially alpha code, so I'm not
complaining. Rather, I am wondering if you keep any type of changelog or
versioning records that will allow me to see which version of code I'm
running, which version is current, and some type of outline of what
changes I will need to make when I get to the point of wanting to
upgrade the core Reactor code. If you don't have anything like this,
does anyone have any good suggestions on how to do this? I can obviously
comb through the mail archives, try to create a list of changes, perform
those changes, then do trial-and-error to see what I missed, but that
would be tedious, error-prone, and may produce bizarre errors that
aren't easily tracked down.
