Oops - double negative sorry - yep - I should have said "......have clearly explained...." I guess
-----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 July 2002 16:36 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Backward compatibility Just to be clear, your statement that: > I'm not disagreeing that you haven't clearly explained reduces to I'm disagreeing that you have clearly explained. I had to read it four times to get your meaning. Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 07/25/02 11:09AM >>> Phil Yeh I'm not disagreeing that you haven't clearly explained the depreciated tags etc....my argument is that if I'm upgrading from one product version to the next with only 1 step in the jump all of my code should be supported - hence backward compatibility - just good practice I would have said. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Costa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 July 2002 14:03 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Backward compatibility I don't want to be testy, but in what way have we not covered it: -- we provide a book in the documentation called migrating ColdFusion 5 applications which talks about all the deprecated tags and tells you how to use the analyzer -- we built the code compatibility analyzer These resources may be imperfect (they always are), but they're pretty substantial. Is there something else you're thinking of specifically?

Don't people think that Macromedia should have covered this so upgrading would be seamless? - surely this is a put-off for people to upgrade -----Original Message----- From: Phil Costa [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 July 2002 13:08 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Backward compatibility You should also check the code analyzer, which is in the admin. It can scan your code and identify tags that will no longer work as well as tags that have been deprecated so may not work in the future.
