DEVELOPMENT DISCLAIMER

While the WebBlocks 2 repository contains working code, and while some specifics are discussed herein, the implementation may change significantly before release. As such, no guarantees are made about the consistency of the API at this time. Anything discussed herein may change in the future, up until the point of a beta release.

• From use in CASA and on other projects, a few issues have come up to resolve:
  • Watch crashes on bad build
  • Only generates one CSS and one JS build product per build invocation
  • Issues with YUI compressor in some cases (such as (Polymer Platform)[http://www.polymer-project.org])
  • No warning if a file isn't included because it doesn't exist
  • Unexpected behavior around bower components and updates
• Discussion:
  • Syntactic sugar to reduce verbosity of Blockfiles

• Any other discussion items?
