Example: xmlrpc died before to born, worked only in 1.1.1, now I must find time to update it to zinc and 1.3 but with the fear that again will not work in 1.4.
What are your building blocks except http and xml? If you were working on 1.1.1 then xml parser moved quite a bit and zinc appeared on the scene. The changes to adopt xml parser should be minimal. Zinc provides a facade that mimicks backward compatibility. So you could have an easy start. But to be honest the situation is soooo much better with having zinc that you might save some time in development if you use zinc straight away. And about 1.4: Yes, it moves a lot but zinc and xml do not. Xml is stable since months and the change rate in zinc is also dropping. So you might expect them to be available until...let's say...3 months from now. :) Ok, just kidding, I think the will stay similar for quite some time.

Hi Norbert!
Yes, I know that the situation is better with Zinc (I checked the code and really look nice and simple to understand). I only mentioned XMLRPC as a mere example of how the things become unusable so fast.
Talking about this what you guys consider best, migrate XMLRPC to 1.3 or directly to 1.4 ?
I don't think it makes a huge difference. As long as 1.4 is not to be released soon it would be better to port it to 1.3. This way people can use it. But honestly I think you develop it against zinc and xml parser. Zinc has been updated in 1.3 lately but I don't know if it is the newest stuff. Sven knows it. Norbert
