Joomla 1.6 Component Installation & 1.6 function cross walk
Now that Joomla 1.6 is out in beta2, does anyone know a good place to find requirements for developers of 3rd party components to make our 1.5 applications work with 1.6?
I've seen this started: http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_%28MVC%29...!1.6
But there is nothing there yet for installation and no crosswalk - what functions have changed and, more importantly, what api 1.5 functions no longer work in 1.6 (are there any?).
I tried installing my component on a local test site - first time got php error messages about "node no longer present" and a file not found - second time it installed but got Joomla error messages unable to create admin links and "could not find xml file" - and could not get to the component but it uninstalled okay.
I'm having users want to know when our Joomla Bible Study component with be 1.6 ready and I can't honestly answer until I get some idea of the work ahead!
Thanks!

I would start here:
http://groups.google.com/group/joomla-dev-general/browse_thread/thr...
And here's a link from the first post leading to this from the docs:
http://docs.joomla.org/What%27s_new_in_Joomla_1.6#Developers
You can ask specific questions in that google group, or here in this discussion.
Hope that gives you a little more direction on what's coming. -

Hello,
there have been some changes to the mentiones functiones.. e.g. "node no longer present" - has been fixed.
Please try alpha 2 or a nightly build from http://dev.joomla.org/nightly/joomla_trunk/
Additional you should make a svn checkout (or look at the nightly build) for a folder named
tests/_data/installer_packages
You will find sample components which should guide you in how to create your manifest.xml
OR - use the new EasyCreator version (2B released soon..)
Cheers,
Nikolai -
