Hey everyone, As you've no doubt seen from the commit logs, Eli and I have been having a little code sprint for the past several days on Uploader 2. Our goal was to get a sneak peek of the new implementation into Friday's Infusion 0.6 beta release, and then continue to expand and refine it in time for 0.6 final next month.
Ensuring that this code is production-worthy, flexible, and well- factored have been foremost on our minds for Uploader 2 moving forward. We intend to fix the Flash 10 bug, implement a Google Gears- based option as an alternative to Flash, and support graceful degradation and more flexible markup. Erin and Daphne are als\o continuing to refine the interaction designs based on feedback from user tests. Eli and I were really close to shipping for 0.6 beta, but we felt that we wouldn't have enough time to properly respond to the issues that will inevitably arise during Justin's QA testing over the next couple of days. Given this, we're going to hold off on Uploader 2 for the 0.6 beta, and will continue to push forward over the next couple of weeks, ensuring that Justin has had lots of time to hammer away on it before the final. We're going to move Uploader 2 out of trunk and into a branch for code freeze, but we'd still love to have you try it and and share your early feedback. Following the release of the beta, we'll also be looking for people to help us test the SWF and Gears flavours of Uploader 2 in various production scenarios.
