Hello all,
I write PHP using the CodeIgniter framework. They have new releases regularly and I spend several hours updating all of my sites to the new framework. Does anyone else on the list write code around a framework (it doesn't have to be PHP or CodeIgniter)?
Im currently working on a fairly big project using CakePHP.
How do you manage framework updates?
by hand. In my case there is no automated way to do it. Usually, and I assume this holds true for you, you don't need to update for every revision. For these kind of frameworks they do not test every 3rd-party module against the new code (Drupal does to some extent). If security is the issue, take all the identifying HTML code out of the app so the script kiddies can't detect it.
Unit tests are handy as Alex says, but can be overkill on smaller projects.
