Compatibility issues using Jelly ORM with Kohana 3.2, time to move on? - kohana-3

I like Jelly ORM and I want to use it with Kohana 3.2. However, I'm receiving different errors as I try its various methods and actions.
I see the last update to Jelly ORM was more than year ago on github.
Should we say "Goodbye" to it?

The original author of Jelly stopped active development before Kohana 3.1 was released. From that point, someone else forked Jelly and upgraded the unstable branch to Kohana 3.1. I don't know the current state of this fork. But upgrading that one for Kohana 3.2 shouldn't be too much work.

This should be working now: http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/9833/jelly-for-kohana-3.2-auth-driver

SAP: Upgrading Hybris from version 5.1.1 to 6.2

We have SAP Hybris Commerce version 5.1.1 with custom extensions installed. Now we need to upgrade it to newest version 6.2.
My question is: Can we upgrade it to 6.2 and skip all versions between 5.1 and 6.2? Or must it be done by upgrading to 5.2, then to 5.3 and so on?
Yep - 5.1.1 to 6.2 ought to work (I've been working on a project that's done exactly this).
You will probably have to make some changes - watch out for any customisations you've made - it might be worth reading through the release docs to have an idea of what's changed - off the top of my head the structure of add ons is one area that's a bit different between 5.1 and 6.2, but otherwise things should work OK in theory.
Yes you can directly update to 6.2.
It's important to regulary update your hybris version. You should not have so much gap with current version. Indeed it become tougher to migrate your custom code.
Upgrading each minor version in a row is totally useless most of the time. Only do this if you have issues you can't solve while migrating to the target version.
You should take a look at this migration documentation and this guide (it can be used even if it doesn't match your version).
Note that some stuff like promotion are totally different in hybris 6 so you can expect some trouble to migrate everything. Take care of your extensions generated with old template also.
5.5.1 introduces JDK8 and Spring 4, I would not underestimate this change! Depending on the size of your project I would first go for 5.5.1. Also notice the MySQL change for 6.2 (5.6). Don't forget to declare deployment tables in your items.xml. Search for "third-party compatibility" and "release notes" on the wiki. Also try shifting to the backoffice since the hMC is marked as deprecated.
Yes you can migrate directly 6.2.
The time and difficulty depends on your custom code (and how much it respects good practices : naming conventions, usage of service, architecture respect...etc)
You might also consider that HMC is deprecated in 6.2

how i upgrade kohana version 2.3.4 to 3.3.2

I have project written on Kohana 2.3.4, this project is still active and time to time there is requirement create whole new feature. Because Kohana 2 is no longer supported and whole application stack is quite less I have invest much times possibilities how to upgrade from Kohana 2 to 3. I already know there has been quite a lot of changes and it isn't simple upgrade, it's more like rewrite of application. the directory structure is also different in kohana 3 from kohana 2.
Does anybody have real experience with upgrading Kohana 2 to 3?

ShouId I migrate from Liferay 6.1 to Liferay 6.2?

I would like to ask a question about wether or not I should do the migration to Liferay 6.2.
Me and my team are working since 4 month on a portal quite big developed with Liferay 6.1 (CE edition) and now, since the project publication date is still 4-5 month ahead (so I do have time), I was wondering if doing the migration to 6.2 now is a good choice.
I already tried the new version and I must say I am impressed about the new features and since now I haven't find any bugs.
Anyone had any experience on developing portlet/themes on Liferay 6.2? Is is worth it to do the migration now or shall I wait for the next ga2 release?
Any suggestion is very welcome.
Thanks
Depends mostly on the kind of work you've done on that portal. Even slight upgrades in Liferay, can have major differences in the source code. If this affects the work you've done, it will affect the upgrade too. For example, things will get difficult to update if :
You have developed custom portlets, as they will need recompilation for the new runtime
Developed Portlets that use ServiceBuilder might need more work than just a recompilation
Using Hooks (even simple jsp hooks) might need re-writing. ext hooks will almost certainly need to, and it can become a major pain
On, the other hand, if most of your work had to do with light theming and content management, it could become an relatively easy and painless upgrade.
In any case, make sure to keep a backup of your Liferay Database, because once you upgrade, there is no way to downgrade back to the initial version.
As you're using CE, my recommendation is to upgrade as soon as possible. Reason is that there are no more updates for 6.1, now that 6.2 is out. If you're going live in 5 months, you'd be on a version that's unsupported for half a year at the date of publication.
The alternative is to go to EE, which is supported for ~5 years from release, e.g. you'll have several years of support in front of you. However, as Liferay is paying my salary, note that I might be biased...
Of course, being unsupported "by Liferay" does not mean that you won't be able to fix any bugs or issues, but you'll have to do this on your own, and sooner or later you should upgrade anyway... If you're not yet live, I'm recommending to do it sooner.
Liferay 6.2 does not (yet) support as many marketplace apps as Liferay 6.1. Also Liferay 6.2 CE has bugs, and patches are available only to EE subscribers; this forced us to use Liferay 6.1 CE instead of 6.2 CE.
You will have issues if you are using the Vaadin framework under Liferay.
Liferay 6.2 CE does not support Vaadin out of the box ... it is delivered with Vaadin 6.8, but it is broken - your portlet code will break.
You would have to consider moving to Vaadin 7.1 at best ... and that is a non-trivial code migration as many items have been deprecated between 6.8 and 7.
I went that route and the learning curve was unexpectedly steep.

Subsonic 3.1 when is it likely?

I have a project built around Subsonic 3.0.0.3 and have run into the dreaded medium trust issue, can anyone tell me is there a way I can mod the code myself to get this working or what the expected timescale for 3.1 version is? Its looking increasingly like I will have to ditch subsonic to get my system running
Regards
Mike
No timeframe for SubSonic 3.1 (or 3.0.0.4), but here are the current plans: http://groups.google.com/group/subsonicproject/browse_thread/thread/caae09418ce4d975/
The SubSonic Google discussion group is the best place to find out about the current development happenings for SubSonic.
Short answer, as soon as possible.
Long answer, there's a number of things planned for 3.1 these include (but are not necessarily limited to):
Oracle support
MediumTrust support
Automatic mapping of collections in SimpleRepository
These are all in development right now but before they become the main focus we need to get version 3.0.0.4 out the door with fixes for a lot of the outstanding issues listed on github. There's also a lot of more boring work going on behind the scenes which should make regular and stable releases easier.
The current release schedule is:
Version 3.0.0.4 - 22nd March 2010
Version 3.1 - 22nd May 2010

is Subsonic 3 compatible with the latest release of Mono?

The latest stable release of Mono right now is 2.4.2.3. Does subsonic 3 work with it? I know Mono isn't compatible with all .net 3.5 features yet, but I'm presuming compatibility depends on which specific language features of .net 3.5 Subsonic uses. Does anyone know for a fact whether it's compatible?
Its compatible - just remember to use an actual version of MySQL connector, if planning to use MySQL.
And there is an Error in current SubSonic (see Issue 111). Change IsDbNull to IsDBNull in SubSonic.Core/Linq/Structure/ExecutionBuilder.cs and recompile.
That did it for me with Mono 2.6 and MySQL-connector 6.2.2
But I didnt't test anything but simple save and read queries.
from the looks of the code not everything seems to be full hilt 3.5 so i would cast an opinion that it will be just fine, i have been using 3.0.0.3 and resharper comes up with tones of comments about how it can be changed and upgraded.
but it takes less than 5 mins or so to test, so i would go ahead if i was you, you dont really have much to loose other than 5-10 mins.
hope this helps
