Hi Glenn,



Yes, you really did dream this. We have had some forum discussions about it, but no changes have been made yet.



Next time, you can maybe make the changes in your sleep :)

  Next Release of Cairngorm - Compatibility with Flex SDK





I fear I’ve just suffered a senior moment.

 

Admittedly it was very late last night, but I could have sworn I read a commit note stating that the 2.2.2 trunk had been patched to upgrade code to flex sdk3 and remove the depreciated elements.

 

Did I really dream this last night? I fear I did, as I can now find nether the changes or the imaginary commit note.

 

Ok, a little off topic but I got up this morning absolutely convinced I’d seen this note yesterday.

 

Now, I assume I was mistaken.

 

As for the post below, yes, I really do think it’s time to draw a line under 2.2.1 and assign is as for flexSDk2. It’s seems very late in the day to have a Flex3 cairngorm that’s on spec and throws no errors.

 

Just once again, and for the last time, did I really have a dream about cairngorm being updated last night? It’s a worry and surely my hours of slumber could have thought of some better late night entertainment for me.

  Next Release of Cairngorm - Compatibility with Flex SDK



Hi Guys,



As you probably know, the existing codebase throws deprecation warnings/compile errors when compiled with the Flex 3 SDK. We've a decision to make on the next release in respect to what level of backward compatibility we want to ensure.



My thinking is that the existing 2.2.1 release suffices for Flex 2, and that, going forward, the next release is a Flex 3 SDK only version.



My reasoning here is that most new projects will be using Flex 3 (there's really no reason to use Flex 2, as they both require the same Flash Player), and older projects are unlikely to migrate to a newer version of Cairngorm in the short term, as there are no immediate new features.



Do you foresee any community concern with this approach?



Alistair

Hey Alistair,

One Flex 2/3 dependency you may want to consider is new projects where as the scope of which is module specific.

For example, some large enterprise class RIAs release new modules against existing applications. In such cases the base application may be compiled against the 2.2.1 sdk therefore the "new" module would be built against the same. So in a sense this is a new project however it is being loaded into an existing application.

Thanks,
Eric
