for your info, I have been working on resfreshing the chapter on FS and It helped me to find some strange stuff. So I will push a list of questions soon. Stef On Aug 9, 2012, at 11:57 PM, Camillo Bruni wrote:
FileSystem compat ----------------- During my train trip today I "ported" (AKA copied) the whole FileSystem package from 2.0 to 1.4 and fixed some tests: - the 2.0 FS works almost perfectly in 1.4 - some Tests related to DateAndTime fail!
Furthermore I created a dumb FileDirectory interface for 2.0 - FileDirectory is a subclass of FileReference - FileSystem-Legacy protocols have been added to FileReference / FileDirectory
given these two changes I think we can more safely port stuff from 1.4 to 2.0.
Problems -------- The only thing failing under 1.4 are the DateAndTime related tests since 1.4 doesn't feature the time zone fixes. Are you (Esteban) willing to backport the changes made to 2.0 for DateAndTime. For production code it's not that crucial, since as long as your VM/image doesn't change time zones everything will just work fine ;) (it's not a bug, it's a feature, yeah yeah)
