duality of interfaces SPOT vs Windows.Devices #268

Open PeterKenyon opened 9 years ago

PeterKenyon commented 9 years ago

I notice that along with the existing SPOT gpio stuff, there is a new Windows.Devices equivalent, presumably the goal is to align with the windows 10 apis, so will all the SPOT interfaces disappear, is there any information on what the strategy will be. btw Excellent job on getting rid of the PDK (that was painful). I know this isn't an issue per say, is there a discussion forum anywhere for 4.4 stuff

GitHub treats everything as an issue, You can just set the label to "Discussion" for a discussion. The plan is to mark all APIs replaced by new UWP APIs as deprecated but retained for compatibility for at least one release cycle. The goal is to isolate out the legacy support so that they can become optional and migrate everything to a UWP compatibility model (It won't be 100% compat with the interpreter but we are hoping to get to that with the ahead of time compilation which we have an early "Proof of Concept" for)
