Seaside Migration How To

> Hi
>
> This is a short list of things to do when migrating for an older to a
> newer version of Seaside in the wiki at:
> http://www.squeaksource.com/Seaside.html
>
> 2.6 to 2.7 must:
> - every component that uses the old default WAHtmlBuilder must do so
> explicity by returning it in #rendererClass
> - evaluate WADispatcher resetAll
> - use WATagBrush >> #title: instead of WATagBrush >> #tooltip:
> - move to new image map api, check all senders of #imageMap, see
> WAImageMapTag for details
>
> 2.6 to 2.7 should:
> - move to new header api, modify implementors of #updateRoot:
> - remove the implemtors of #rendererClass that return WARenderCanvas
> - migrate to WARenderCanvas
> - migrate from WAScriptLibrary and WAStyleLibrary to WAFileLibrary
> - use WAAnchorTag >> #with: instead of WAAnchorTag >> #text:
> - check for deprecated message sends
> - replace users of WAChangePassword, WAEditDialog,
> WAEmailConfirmation, WAGridDialog, WALoginDialog, WANoteDialog
>
> 2.7 to 2.8 must:
> - migrate to WARenderCanvas
> - backtrack state by implementing #states (check all senders of
> #registerObjectForBacktracking: and #registerForBacktracking)
> - move to new header api, modify #updateRoot:. #linkToStyle becomes
> #stylesheet #url, #linkToScript becomes #javascript #url:, check all
> implementors of #updateRoot:
> - use WAAnchorTag >> #with: instead of WAAnchorTag >> #text:
> - replace users of WAChangePassword, WAEditDialog,
> WAEmailConfirmation, WAGridDialog, WALoginDialog, WANoteDialog
> - every component that implements #initialize must send this message
> also to super (use SLint)
> - if you use Squeak 3.7 load SeasideSqueak37 after Seaside
> - if you use Squeak do not load into an image that has an earlier
> version of Seaside already loaded
>
> 2.7 to 2.8 should:
> - check for deprecated message sends
> - migrate from WAScriptLibrary and WAStyleLibrary to WAFileLibrary
> - remove the implementors of #rendererClass that return WAHtmlCanvas
>
> I'm sure this list is not complete and I forgot stuff. So if you spot
> something that is missing send a message to me or the list or fix it
> directly. This is not on the Seaside homepage so anyone can edit it.
> It will probably be moved to the homepage at a future point.
