Upward compatability: Preparing for next version
Okay, here is an interesting issue. I am currently building a big project using NHibernate 1.0.2, and I need some features on NHibernate 1.2, mostly with regard to the new critieras. At the moment, we can't move to 1.2, there are concerns about it being beta and other changes that will keep us busy with technical stuff rather than building business stuff. Those are valid concerns, but I still feel that it will take more time in the end to move to the new version.
I can solve the problem with 1.0.2, but not cleanly. I can back port the new stuff that I need (basically, a single class) and use it against NHibernate 1.0.2 (without modifications to NHibernate). The issue I wonder about is how to prepare for the eventual move to NHibernate 1.2. The last thing that I want is to have two ways to do something, or using the inferior method to handle it.
I already have a big comment right there:
Any other suggestions?
