[Dynapi-Dev] Development status

[Peter R. <ant...@gm...>]

Hi there,

for a new (long term) project I have to decide which crossbrowser-dhtml
library to use. I am using DynAPI for several years now and played around
with the 3.0 beta. From the technical point of view I'd definetaly choose
DynAPI but I see not much development here (for quite some time now). I
don't want to upset anyone! But it is very important for me that I do not
use a project which will be discontinued tomorrow.

So my questions is: Is this project still actively maintained? When will
there be a 3.0 final?

Again, I don't want to flame or anything - I just need to know ;)

Kind Regards,
Peter

Peter,
as with any opensource project, interest comes and goes in waves.
The main thing that causes forward movment is people specifically requesting
a feature,
or reporting a bug. (Or one of the developers get's an idea)
Most of the recent development has been focused on the aspect of
client-server communication.

To get 3.0 to a final release requires three things:
1) bug hunting/fixing: best accomplished by looking at the bug reports for
2.x and
testing those bugs in 3.0, and patching them in 3.0

2) documentation, the library has drifted quite far from the documentation.

3) widgets!!! we need the widgets from 2.5 ported to 3.0, and a few new ones
wouldn't hurt either.

I have a zipped copy of the richardinfo site at home. In it are pretty much
ALL of the widgets for 2.5
Let me know if anyone want's the zip, I'll put it up for download.

later,
Doug Melvin

Hey Doug, could you put up the richardinfo widgets?  I checked the site last
month and it has gone away, replaced with a commercial home page.  You may
have the last copy.  I'd like to have a few copies floating around, incase
of harddrive failures or accidental deletions.  ;-)  I'll put a copy on my
site too (slow as it may be).  Thanks!

Leif
