Posted October 12, 200618 yr I would like to make a modification for my board. Would it be better to make my mod in bete 2.2 or 2.1?
October 12, 200618 yr I would hold off until 2.2 final is out. Thats the best to do. Also you most likely can't make a mod for the beta as most of the main files are encoded.

October 13, 200618 yr to be totally honest i'd say 2.1 cus its ALOT more likely a mod for 2.1 MIGHT work in 2.2 while most likely a mod made for 2.2 will not work in 2.1. Alot of people won't update to 2.2. immediately either they'll wai t for it to be out a while first too. I'd still recommend updating anything thats needed for 2.2 tho.
October 13, 200618 yr Any modifications you make based on the beta may break when 2.2 stable comes out. Best to wait for the stable, you have no idea what they're going to change. Likewise, it's impossible anyway.@Jaggi What you say is true. However, it's better to make it for 2.2 THEN 2.1 because as people upgrade they expect to see new modifications for 2.1. Eventually most people will move to 2.2 so on the long run it makes sense to get it over with for the newest version before worrying about those who haven't upgraded yet.
October 13, 200618 yr I've got a few mods that are done for 2.2, components and task manager mods.I thought it was encoded. How do you make a mod with that?
October 13, 200618 yr I thought it was encoded. How do you make a mod with that?Components are code independent,and some don't require base code modification, just skin mods.
October 13, 200618 yr Yeah my Report Center is almost done for 2.2 as well. Have a few more things left to do with it (since it's rather detailed). There are a couple mods I plan on doing and know exactly what I'm going to change already, but I'm going to wait until 2.2 RC1 because they require a single file change :) (Report Center has zero file modifications). Although from what I heard the file I want to change really hasnt changed from 2.1 -> 2.2... But I'd rather start it on 2.2.... Really doesn't make sense to start with 2.1 anymore. Patience is key right now! :)
October 13, 200618 yr I will be purchasing your Report Manager for certain :)And glad to here that Michael, I use a couple of your mods, and like the mod installer, makes it so much easier.
