hi all, Thank you for the comments.
My application has around 15-20 files with major inter-dependencies and lot of LOC. And, we plan to release the application by year end and so this migration is a big issue. I will try to learn about the migration process in the coming days, read the previous threads by others again to know the potential problems and their solutions, test a small module for migration (and ask queries if I get stuck up ;-) ). Hope all goes smooth. Any more comments are still welcome. regards Amit Fabian Jakobs wrote: > Hi Amit, > > Whether you should stay or migrate depends on many factors. > > First some notes about the releases: > > 0.7.x This is a legacy branch and only receives some bug fixing.
