Press & Public Reactions

Questions and Concerns

  • Discuss how to communicate / track changes for our short releases. (blizzard)
  • What does the update experience feel like? (mayumi)
  • EndOfLife of 3.5/3.6? (catlee)
  • Requirement to recompile binary components in addons per release is creating a little heartburn with developers who use them. I want to ensure that promotion of JS-ctypes is the recommended approach, and need to know where devs with questions should be directed. (kev)
