is your framework up to date?

I was helping a buddy debug an issue this morning with his Model-Glue web site. The error was being thrown from Model-Glue itself, not his own application code, but he naturally assumed the issue was with his site.

He shared with me the line of code throwing the error, and when we compared his line with my line, it became apparent right away that his version of Model-Glue was a bit out of date.

Once he updated (to version 2.0.304) the issue went away. We are all trained to get our operating systems and other programs up to date, but it probably makes good sense to check your framework versions from time to time as well.

Obviously if everything is fine you may not want to mess with things, and also you want to be careful if multiple sites on the same box are using the framework, but it is something to keep in mind!

Hi Ray,

I'm hearing lots about portals and portlets. I've even read about CF portlets....

can you explain what makes a portlet and portlet or a portal a portal ? I mean I read on IBM's site all about how it really advances the SOA concept and as I read the descriptions, I think to myself I can do all that in Flex, especially with the new Module component.

And maybe you can connect all this to the new CF portlet toolikit?

	I think project update notices would be a great use of RSS. Unfortunately, most open source projects also inject other stuff into their RSS feeds or mix update notices in with their blogs. (And sometimes you don't want to get all the blog entries.)

	@Chris, generally if things are tagged well enough that should not be an issue as there is usually a feed for every tag

	Thanks Dave. I was more complaining for the sake of complaining. B-)
