We have a couple of applications that will be migrated to Lucee soon. From
a developer’s POV, it really can’t happen fast enough. However, there are
other upgrades that are taking place (OS, deployment processes, etc.) at
the same time and the process has been pretty slow. We’re buttoning up the
extra pieces that go along with with migration, and I’m wondering if we
should consider conducting our regression tests against 4.5 or 5 Beta.
Is there any estimated timeframe for the release of Lucee 5?
I’m not speaking for LAS here, but If you have the time, it would certainly
help the community to run your tests against 4.5 & 5. But IMO, 4.5 has been
very stable for a long time, and 5 is described as a major rewrite of the
internals, and has been ‘coming soon’ for a long time. Most of what is
coming in 5 is not new functionality, (Micha described in a post that
80-90% of the work being just internal changes). Thus, I don’t think you’ll
be ‘missing out’ on any major features by postponing your move to 5, and
once 5 is stable, it also shouldn’t be a major leap. The question is, how
long will it take for 5 to be production ready & stable, not just be
released. I tend to be on the conservative side, and it wasn’t until 4.2
that the stability really came together for the 3 to 4 jump, the last major
leap, IMO. Myself I’ll probably create new projects in 5, but keep my
mission critical at 4.5 for a little while into the 5 release.On Tuesday, March 15, 2016 at 12:05:06 PM UTC-4, Jason Durham wrote:
