The fact that the next release of Lift is going to be called 2.0 rather than 1.1 does not change the scope of the release. With that being said, deprecating lift-core is fine by me as long as there is an easy to understand deprecation message with clear instructions as to how to replace lift-core with whatever is necessary. > now might be a good time to make a decision. > Thoughts? > > Cheers, Indrajit > > NB: An open question to anybody in the Lift: Who among you are actually > using lift-core in you project and what is the level of impact you > foresee in case you have to move on to have an alternative approach. > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Lift" group. > To post to this group, send email to lift...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > liftweb+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com<liftweb%2bunsubscr...@googlegroups.com> > . > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/liftweb?hl=en. > > > -- Lift, the simply functional web framework http://liftweb.net Beginning Scala http://www.apress.com/book/view/1430219890 Follow me: http://twitter.com/dpp Surf the harmonics -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Lift" group.
