Hi David, I haven't seen anything in the read.me file re scripting, but as this release is all about browse mode, your speculations that the only changes would effect browse mode seem logical.
Aaron did seem to answer Paul that there would eventually be some changes to support browse mode, but I took this to me likely additions to the scripting model, not any losses to worry about (other than as you say, the browse mode objects) (and they happened back when IE 9 was release if I recall). So, I'd suggest you "keep on truck'in"; if it works now, it's likely to work later; and even if by some odd happenstance it doesn't work in the future, well, you had it working all this time.

It seems there may be a few changes to be aware of, at least when I follow some of the discussions on the main list. No, I am not on the Beta, so I have to go by what I have read and think I have understood. For one thing, it seems to me that the Browse Mode is all gone and burried. If I follow that logic, my next gues is that there will not be a Browse Mode object for our apps to hook onto any longer. Or, at least it will have to be quite modified, I would think. Am I right in this presumption? I only have been fooling around with Browse Mode scripting, for a couple of private apps, so it won't affect me too hard. But it all makes another question dawn in my mind. Is There Any Other Major Changes In Regard Of App Development? Something that will need special attention when we develop and continue to maintain our existing apps. Since it likely will take a while yet, before the locale version of WE9 will come around, I want to know if I do better in temporarily abstain from updating my current app releases. No need to sit and spend a hundred hours in figuring ways to do the job better, only to realize that things got altogether changed in the new version. Is it by chance, possible to download the new reference manual, that I at least could check out the features I do use in my apps? Maybe I am making an elephant out of a tree here, but I just wanted to make sure. Even just knowing that things are not going to change too drastically, would help me in deciding how to best handle my current apps. Thanks for any feedback. -- David
