2.8 released, local download, and API documentation

JeffPace — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 14:33:00 GMT

Just wondering when 2.8 will be available for local download.

Also, are we ever going to get to a stage where we can choose the API version for the online documentation? it is near impossible to stay instantly current and very frustrating not to be able to view the documentation from prior versions of the API.

The SDK download isn't quite ready but should be available sometime next week. We'll make an announcement on the forum once it's available. You can find older versions of the documentation in the download.

OK thank you. As for the documentation, I think alot of us are still hoping for a "dojo api" style documentation where you can choose the version From a pulldown.

Also it would be a good idea to pack the SDK ZIP in a way, that the files are under a folder that represents the version number (like the library ZIP does). For example:
...\arcgis_js_api\sdk\2.7

Below you see a representation of my emotions in my Windows-system:

Library: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.7
SDK: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\sdk\
==> 😞

Library: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\library\2.7
SDK: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\arcgis_js_api\sdk\2.7
==> 🙂

Also: install.htm -> install_2.7.htm, install_linux.htm -> install_linux_2.7.htm

Things like that would make (installation-) life a bit easier. 🙂
