The question is, should I just start using 1.4? Will headaches of the
alpha version outway the headaches of building already built components
myself?
And which version? 1.4 alpha1? I grabbed the trunk version the other
day, but haven't tried to compile it yet. (redhat linux/java1.5/tomcat).
The major points when moving to (a future stable version of) 1.4 are
- content migration
- migration of custom functionality
IMO you should move to 1.4 only if you can answer all of these
questions with "yes":
- Can the editors continue to use 1.2 until 1.4 is released?
(the content storage is likely to change, so I'd not recommend
to store content in 1.4 unless you're willing to do migrations
after you update Lenya)
- Can I afford a content migration when 1.4 is released?
(we'll provide a content migration tool, but we can't promise
that your doctypes, site structure etc. will be supported to 100%)
- Are my Lenya skills good enough to work around showstoppers,
or am I willing to go back to a previous version when serious
problems occur?
- Can I afford to migrate my custom functionality to a new API,
or even to a new framework (Ant tasks -> usecase framework)?
What do the others think?
