FSS (we're not replacing this)

 

demands

  • instead, use distributeOptions and dynamic grades instead

 

use of components which are not "autoInit" - including the return of nonComponent material from a creator function, and manual attachment of components to trees

 

 

the use of manual lifecycle points (postInit, finalInit, preInit)

  • instead, use two new configuration blocks: modelListeners and new listener block with member named 'changePath'

 

 

the use of manual component initialisation functions such as fluid.initLittleComponent and fluid.initViewComponent

  • instead, use grades and autoInit

 

 

the use of legacy IoC expressions such as "@1", "@2", "COMPONENT_OPTIONS" etc.

 

 

the option "returnedPath" (and "returnedOptions", which is gone already)

N/A

 

changeApplier and model features:

  • The special changeApplier events "guards" and "postGuards"

  • Our vestigial "superApplier" ("fluid.makeSuperApplier")

  • The utility "fluid.model.copyModel" (simply use "fluid.copy" since we don't believe in shared model references any more)

  • The mergePolicy "preserve"

  • The ChangeApplier event type "MERGE" (only "ADD" and "DELETE" will be supported)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The use of fluid.tryCatch()

N/A

 

Event features:

  • The name "fluid.event.getEventFirer" (in favour of the simpler name "fluid.makeEventFirer")

  • "unicast events"

  • Note that any arguments to fluid.makeEventFirer are not a public API, this signature will change when we implement "latched events" and abolish "unicast events"

except for arguments to makeEventFirer - not sure what that means

 

Progress events and callbacks onProgressBegin and afterProgressHidden

 

The old names "fluid.model.setBeanValue" and "fluid.model.getBeanValue"

  • instead, use "fluid.model.set" and "fluid.model.get"

N/A

 

fluid.lightbox (use fluid.imageReorderer) - some css there as well?

 

 

stuff in Fluid.js e.g. fluid.keyForVaue()...

 

 

path utilities in DataBinding (not documented anyway?)

 

 

fl-ProgEnhance-basic is deprecated, and replaced by fl-progEnhance-basic

 

 

Renderer ?

  • (we don't have a replacement yet)we expect to have a replacement by 2.0

  • not sure if 2.0 will abolish the renderer or merely deprecate it
