Dear VE team,

With your help, we are making slow but sure progress in porting ULC VE
from
0.5.0 to 1.0.0.

It appears that a lot has changed since VE 0.5.0. The distance between
VE
0.5.0 and VE 1.0 seems greater than that between VE of WSAD 5.0.1 and VE
0.5.0.

We are trying to understand the nature of changes by debugging the old
and
new code and adapting our code accordingly.

At present we are based on VE 1.0 M2.
-------------------------------------

We will be grateful if you could answer the following:

1) When is the final release of VE 1.0 due?
--- We are winding up right now.

2) Which parts the code  is still being worked upon and which parts
are
likely to see major changes till the release?
--- Most of it is stable at this point. We are only putting MUST-FIX changes
in.

3) What major changes will be part of the  final release?
--- There shouldn't be any more, hopefully. You did
get my note about
childFeature changing to linkType, right? That is
one major change, but 
only in your override files.

4) Should we continue our porting activity now or should we wait till the
final release?
--- Just continue, depending on what driver of 1.0
you are porting to the
changes will be larger. The latest will have the smallest
number changes between
it and the final release.

5) Assuming that there is a core VE on top of which the Swing and SWT VEs
are built, what (major) changes did you make to port the Swing VE from
VE
0.5.0 to VE 1.0.0?
--- That I can't answer. That was mostly by others.

Thanks and regards,

Janak
