when is the expected release date for lift 3.0?

[vineeth pulipati]

I am new to scala and I am confused in what to select lift or play. I found play has support by typesafe. But I was exited to see the blog post in lift about lift 3.0 which brings some nice changes so I thought of picking up lift but then I saw that the blog post is 1 year old :O
Then I saw lift is very slow in releasing updates the milestone of 2.6 is still in milestone from one year! Can I know when will be the release date of 3.0 and also any good resources for learning for a newbie to all this stuff!

Thanks a lot!

We are still making changes in lift 3.0 that would break existing applications,  so you may want to waita bit before using3.0, but the 2.6 milestones are very stable and we are not making breaking changes there.

We manage releases different than other projects,  on one hand our mx and rc releases are very stable,  and then you need to remember that we do this on our free time,  but that doesn't mean the quality isn't good,  just the opposite,  we are busy with our day jobs which include using lift in production.

As far as learning lift, go to liftweb.com and on the right lower corner you will find  several books.

And whenever you havea question,  just search this list or ask a question here if you haven't found an answer.

Hope you pick lift for your next project and all the best.

I have been using Lift 3 in production for quite a long time. It is very solid and works extremely well.

That just tells how good quality code Lift committers make. Even though there are no milestones yet, just snapshot.

Surely committers are people too and might break something, but I am taking the risk and test more, since Lift 3 features are just amazing. I can always revert back to snapshot version that works. I couldn't resist using seamless AngularJS and Lift integration without rest services, effortlessly and securely. In addition scoped lift actors made extremely easy to implement e.g. integrations to other system and update users whenever asynchronous result is ready. Best Lift 3 resource for me was Lift 3 demo app https://github.com/tuhlmann/lift-3-demo made by Torsten Uhlmann. At least you can start to learn Lift 3 features if you want.

Lift 3 snapshots are published just like 2.6 snapshots. Just switch your dependency for Lift artifacts in sbt to 3.0-SNAPSHOT.

Please note that there will be significant churn in the coming weeks as we're working on deprecating things in 2.6 that we don't

want to stick around in 3.0 and removing them from 3.0. A big merge should be coming up in the next week or so that will remove

a lot of previously-deprecated functions. We'll make another post here before it happens so people can be aware.

Thanks,

Antonio

As Lift 3 is going to have lots of changes any new manuals or books coming for newbies? As i see there are no good books for newcomers to web to learn lift, soo many for RoR, Django etc..It would Help a lot if you people write a book that consists of everything from the very basics....thnkyou

That's the plan. But we do not have infinite time. ;)

I know but whats drawing peoples attention away from lift is lack of good guides, that makes people feel it difficult! A good book should be higher priority now! :P

What about these books:

http://www.packtpub.com/lift-application-development-cookbook/book
http://www.packtpub.com/lift-web-applications/book
http://cookbook.liftweb.net/

To mention the most recent ones.

Good intro docs are high priority for me, but so is improving the actual framework. My top priority is rather selfish, which is getting a framework

that rocks for me to use (and, by extension, for others to do so). Making it easy for people to get started with it is very close to that top priority,

and often the two interact very well, because I consider a framework that rocks to use to be one that is easy to use, and docs do figure into that.

The chief point remains what it has always been: the best thing you can do to help the framework as a non-committer is provide blog posts,

wiki entries, and other forms of documentation.

Thanks,

Antonio
