Some people did test the layouts (like myself up to 1.5.5) and reported
multiple errors / issues that Ben worked on to get fixed.
With that said I myself echo'd Ben's call to have others test and report
issues. From what I recall some did initially and quite a few reported over
time.
While I understand where the 2 of you are coming from I think you could really
help Stripes evolve if you could distill your issues into a mini project that
Ben could debug and resolve.
Because even if the old code is incorporated via an option / flag that does
nothing to help those that will hit the same issues you are experiencing
when/if their layouts become as complex. And then they will remark that
Stripes sucks because their layouts on latest code do not work... you will tell
them... no... no... it does work... just use the old code b/c the new code
doesn't work very well for complex layouts or whatever other scenario... and
BTW since we know this but haven't been able to provide testable code to
resolve... we've done the next best thing and put the old working code into the
latest release as an option.
That would be a sad commentary for any project so please help create
reproducible cases to help the entire community b/c only those with issues can
help us get over this issue once and for all... and help people like myself
avoid the issues you face at some point down the road.
Yes... this is solely my opinion... and I'm well aware that some will disagree.
