Forum for Spring4D

What's the best forum for Spring4D?

https://groups.google.com/g/spring4d as I get an email notification - but I also watch SO and this forum.

@AdministratorIf there was a named Forum on Praxis Delphi Third-Party I would post here.

[Stefan Glienke 2019]

But what if I would not answer there 😉 

Seriously - I understand people getting their area here if they don't have their own place already - Spring4D already has its own place.

 

[David Champion 48]

Fair enough, you have spelt it out.

Trying to visit it today, I noticed that google has blocked to view old discussions

Is that happennig only for myself?

@Stefan Glienke I see "Spring4D has been identified as containing spam, malware, or other malicious content." 

 

I guess someone reported it maliciously, or an algorithm screwed up (most likely). 

 

[Stefan Glienke 2019]

I already sent feedback to Google - nothing else I can do about it.

Same for me, shows as banned content on google.

@Stefan GlienkeOn the BitBucket repo 4 days ago you tagged for download version 2.0.beta.1.

 

Version 2.0 was at alpha.2 8 months ago.

 

Is this a significant release and should I start to prefer this over 1.2.4 if I dont mind some risks?

 

Are the sub-set of collections solid, unchanged and represent low risk usage?

Obviously there is the word 'beta' in the tag so clearly there is still a way to go.

It's definitely a significant release, a major overhaul of the collection classes which reduces generic code bloat a lot. I've been using the develop branch for the last year or so in my develop branch - while it's broken things occasionally (I just revert to a previous working commit) the fact that it's tagged as beta.1 suggests it's on the home stretch and major breaking changes from here on in are unlikely. 

 

I can tell you I removed all references to system.generics.collections in FinalBuilder (dev branch, 4M lines of code so not a small task!) and am using the DI container and it's made things significantly faster (faster startup, faster at runtime).  I'm also using spring4d develop extensively in the dpm package manager project.

 

If you don't mind some risk then I would go for it. 

[Stefan Glienke 2019]

I still have to prepare the blog article about the beta. Vincent already summarized what 2.0 provides.

Testing early is always appreciated as it helps find any possible issues. There might be some minor breaking changes which I will outline in the article.

 

Still no response from google though after sending feedback about the blocked forum. Their reaction times are atrocious.

If they react at all.

How should I submit an issue in Spring4D (Developer branch)? I have a small code snipped demonstrating a subtle issue with Containers. It appeared after commit d10edc3 (2022-07-19).

BitBucket repo doesn't allow me to create an issue (probably I need an invitation).

[Stefan Glienke 2019]

Any registered Bitbucket user can report an issue here.

Actually they can't

These are the issue tracker settings that have not been changed for ages:

 

 

And given that the most recent reported issue was reported on march 11 I assume that it's possible.

Strange. I am logged in, and can view issues, but clicking on create redirects me to that page. 

[Stefan Glienke 2019]

The days of using Bitbucket are coming to an end later this year anyway.

Just to add, my experience is the same as @Vincent Parrett's.

[Lars Fosdal 1793]

I tried accessing that page, same problem.

[Stefan Glienke 2019]

Looks to be yet another Bitbucket glitch - I have seen others report the same behavior recently and in the past. One more reason to move forward to another place rather sooner than later (99% sure it will be github which only lost to bitbucket back then because it did not have free private repos at that time).
