Backwards Compatibility with 1.5, 2.5 and 3.0 - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


i have been developing joomla since 2007 , have seen mass changes need take place in order component backwards compatible. i've seen here

http://docs.joomla.org/developing_a_model-view-controller_component/3.0/introduction

and here

http://docs.joomla.org/potential_backward_compatibility_issues_in_joomla_3.0_and_joomla_platform_12.1

this impossible!!!

you need have 2 totally separate components. kills me have added jcontorllerlegacy it's name sake mean go away in future version of joomla. don't want have manage 2 separate code bases if can't find out how write component can runs in 1.5, 1.6, 2.5 , 3.0 think i'm goign done developing in joomla together.

what want can considered many bad practice. in cross platform software there different branches each platform.

maintaining compatibility between old software , latest versions of same brings out many security compromises. in case why want maintain compatibility joomla 1.5 , 3.0 @ same time. if joomla 1.5 still supported don't think stay long.

my suggestion use svn (subversion) , have different branches of component each joomla version , can have central code shared in main branch.
