Necessitas-devel Digest, Vol 12, Issue 4

Hi,

May I just suggest that a clear migration path and schedule be provided 
for apps that have been published?

Disclosure: my app has been published and is doing reasonably well. It 
would be great to know how and when to deploy fixes so end users don't 
hammer me with bad reviews and support emails.

Thanks,
Ivan

Because all these apps will stop working immediately after Ministro will update Qt libs, and even the developers will update the code, these apps will not work using alpha3 libs, this means frustrated users, frustrated developers and bad reviews ...
