FYI.  This is an email that I posted to the Turbine user mailing list.

Subject: Turbine 2.x vs Turbine 3.0

I want to follow-up on a couple of messages that have been posted this
week
dealing with Turbine 2.x and Turbine 3.0.  We are looking at starting a
new
development project using the Turbine platform.

In a post earlier this week, someone asked when 3.0 would be released.
The
response was:  "It's not scheduled for release.  Right now it's still
changing on a daily basis, so I'd say that it is still going to be quite
some time before the release happens.  I would suggest using 2.1 or the
upcoming 2.2 for now for any serious development work."

OK, that is fine, we should use 2.x.  But then today, in response to a
generic question about "getScreen" and "getScreenTemplate", "setScreen"
and
"setScreenTemplate".  The following sentence was posted: "In Turbine 3.0
there are no such things as screens, navigations and layouts. There are
just
modules and they can be aggregated in an arbitrary fashion to render
content."

Since I am new to the whole Turbine framework, I am wondering exactly
how
different is Turbine 3.0 from Turbine 2.x.  Will much of what we
implement
with Turbine 2.x have to be rewritten or modified in 3.0?  Is there a
list
of functionality that is being modified or removed in 3.0?  

Knowing such details may have an impact on how I design and write an
application using 2.x so that the migration to 3.0 someday would be less
painful.  

Thanks.
Dave
