Re: [Rails-devel] BugFix Release for Rails 1880 Alpha5 available - still buggy?

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

Erik:
yes sorry for not subclassing the State/ModelObject/Observable stack 
using ArrayListState at the time of creation.
I thought and still think that this class hierachy has some flaws 
(however the main one was the duality of the state approach). Anyway it 
is easy to correct by having ArrayListState extend from one of the 
classes above if you like to do so.
 From my knowledge there will be no negative side-effects.

 From my point of view I strongly recommend the approach above over 
wrapping an array inside a StringState and then parsing that.
But I have to admit that neither solution will be merged automatically 
into Rails2.0 as the State/Model/Observer code has seen the most changes.

In fact ArrayListState will inherit from State in Rails 2.0, even if 
State and Model behave a little different between Rails 1.x and Rails 
2.0. The design of state and model is finished in the Rails2.0 branch, 
but there is still a lot of tidy up to on the upstream.
