Ext 2.2 or SVN?

[jonathanv]

Hi all,

I'm just starting another reasonably large project using Ext and am wondering if I should stick with 2.2 or base this app on SVN? I haven't looked at the state of SVN yet though!

Thoughts?

I use code from SVN. It's usually good, and if you're on the ball, you can pick up any bugs yourself, post reports, and they get fixed quickly.

Keep your own ext-overrides.js file up to date, and you should be OK.

I have begun to really depend on 3.0 stuff now like Toolbars being Containers, the Panel fbar, Button scaling etc.

talk about SVN,

did you see that examples.jsb is missing from 3.x?

[Lloyd K]

How does 3.x differ from 2.x? Is there a list of changes anywhere?

I doubt it. When it's released, some schmuck will have to do that job! :))

I think it will be an easy upgrade though. Not many code modifications needed. The same inheritance and layout strategy.

Ugh!! Dreading creating that changelist. :-(

I have been maintaining a working list of the changes if any developer schmuck is interested.

This schmuck would be interested to see what you have... could you mail it to me?

[aconran]

This schmuck would like to see it as well. Wow, I like these new names. :-/

I suppose you can dump out the SVN log and try to edit that down into some kind of meaningful document, but it's a hell of a job!

Are the SVN logs used in the release process at all?

If so, I propose that any documenation committers prefix their log messages with some kind of string which would allow documentation commits to be chopped out of the document with a regex.

So I might use



**DOC*** Add more explanation to Record class summary.


As a log message.

If we all keep to this it makes admin tasks which use SVN easier.

[evant]

Yeah, some log trawling does go on as part of a release. That would be handy, but then most of the time the doc related commits have "doc" in there at some point.

Oh god what would I do without SVN. So nice to go back in the list and see what was changed from last release. Downside is on big projects that list can get quite large and I pitty the schmuck that has to document it. ;)
