Gumbo stability

E-mail Print PDF
Hyder, I personnally developed a whole application with Gumbo because I needed Arabic support and the TLF was not yet available. The application is working really good and is also stable, but I had a hard time developing it (I also had fun with the new Gumbo features and architecture :) ). I had to deal with bugs, but most of them were resolved by the SDK team a few days after I submitted a bug report (that was really great, thanks to the Flax team). The other problem was changes in the API, which can happen anytime (Gumbo is still alpha) and which breaks compilation of your code. But following the svn commits, you generally know exactly what changed and what you have to change in your code. Regarding Arabic support, it works great. The text components make it really easy to use the TLF. The only difficulty for now, is that Gumbo does not yet support mirroring for the visual components (to make RTL interfaces), but with some hacking you can get it to work, especially that now you can easily develop your own layout components.
