4.0 Beta 2 Release Date?

[MichaelLakey]

I seem to remember hearing that the next beta for the JavaScript API might be slated for "release" sometime in the Fall.  Is there an idea when 4.0 Beta 2 will be available to the public?  Thanks

Mike,

I believe that it is out already. It is still beta but you can use it.

The question was about when 4.0 Beta 2 will be released, though. Beta 2 isn't out yet.

[BjornSvensson · Accepted solution]

Yes, ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.0 beta 2 is still planned for public release this "Fall" - so before the end of November

Will beta 2 have more of the underlying elements ported? I will love to start migrating my app, but we so heavily rely on elements such as domUtils, IdentityManager, etc.. that it is difficult to even get started

[BjornSvensson]

Yes, 4.0 beta 2 will have more of the underlying elements (e.g. IdentityManager). It will not have all. If your current application works well, and you don't have a need for something that is only available in 4.x (but not 3.x), then I would recommend holding off until the functionality you need is there.

[JeffPace]

It does work well, but we have so much to port we cant really wait, otherwise we will be to far behind when its released.
