I heard that you made several braking backward compatibility changes to Bloc, is there a timeline or roadmap when the specification of the API will stabilize so we can use it without the fear of our GUIs stop working because Bloc brakes backward compatibility ?

Hi all

Today is sunday meaning that we should make a monthly report on what happened in Bloc in February.

��- BlLinearLayout (stack layout + proportional layout)
  • Uses gtExample for examples and tests:��BlLinearLayoutExamples
  • Has extensive class docs and method docs. Still some methods are missing docs.
  • Has "book" chapter (more info below)
- Integration with OS-Window
- Unified shape scaling behaviour.
  • By default shape scales to fill BlElement's extent.
  • Supports different resizing strategies.
  • Started "book" chapter
- Added documentation to various parts of Bloc
  • Still there are a lot of places not covered with docs.
  • Also we auto-generate "book" chapters from bloc example classes. In attachment you can find linear-layout and not finished shape chapter.

Future
