Re: [Mapbuilder-devel] Will MapBuilder run on Internet Explorer 7+

John,

You can start testing with the 1.5 branch in svn, there are some  
changes coming this weekend, but they shouldn't affect applications  
too much. So you can have an idea how much work it will be to base  
your application on 1.5RC1. Then when 1.5RC1 is released you can  
magically release your application on the same day with the new  
version of mapbuilder ;)
Since there are quite some big differences between 1.0.1 en the 1.5  
branch it is wise to start investigating what these are. And to be  
honest if you can spare the 2 weeks I'd go for the 1.5RC1 code since  
it's much more solid then the alpha2
