I've started working on switching my app to TG2, but honestly, it will probably take a year to get there. So many crucial things changed completely (nope, not starting the compatibility rant again :-) ), so in my case I need to completely rewrite a heck of a lot of code and that doesn't even cover the whole registration, signup and auth stuff. TG1 works fine so far. It has it's quirks and I invented a bunch of workarounds to make it work the way I want. I checked up on TG2 and there I'd need another bunch of workarounds, which would require learning the completely different base of things. TG1.1 and TG1.5 have very similar issues to TG2 in my case. My biggest issue is that there is no toscawidgets support for TG1 anymore. Resources are not injected anymore. So I'm using a stone age toscawidgets release on TG1.0.4 which one can't even download anymore. Toscawidgets itself didn't change all that much, but omitting the resources from loading is just a killer. What good does it do to define a javascript that is never injected? So basically I'm stuck on a 1.0.4 version and I don't have the time or the resources to pull it over to TG2 anytime soon Uwe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
