PR5 has dropped important lifecycle methods from FormAction!

[Colin Yates]

Hi all,

So I was wondering why my code no longer worked since upgrading to PR5 and it appears FormAction no longer implements a Lifecycle

Why didn't you (for backwards compatability) just mark them as deprecated? At the very least you should have had a huge warning on the change log instead of indicating you had refactored it

Still a great product, it just makes life a bit more interesting

Once we hit 1.0 we'll freeze the API and start doing things like deprecating methods to keep backwards compatibility. With PR5 we were still in the preview phase so the API is not necessarily backwards compatible with earlier releases.

That's ofcourse a bit of a pain when you need to upgrade, but hopefully we'll have a clean and consise API when 1.0 arrives.

Yeah, I know. I was just moaning

Can I suggest a good way of dealing with this is to make all *dropped* methods as final, otherwise it is really difficult to find the methods

Thanks again.
