Introduction

One goal for WF-2.x is that it is possible to upgrade the framework from older versions. In WF-2.x lots of changes and framework clean ups has been done. At the same time backward compatibility issue has been considered also. This guide will describe how to upgrade from Widget Framework 1.x to 2.x. Escenic Content Engine 5.4 version is the prerequisite of Widget Framework 2.x.

This manual is a user guide for:

  • Template developers who wants to extends/modify the Widget Framework to fit their needs

  • System administrators who installs the Widget Framework

  • Publication designers who want to use the Widget Framework to design Escenic publications

The prerequisites for using this manual are:

  • You have the knowledge how to create new publication

  • You know how to develop template using Widget Framework

  • You have the general design skills needed to work with publication layouts

  • You are familiar with the general structure of Escenic publications

  • You already know how to use Content Studio for editorial purposes

In this guide we will talk about two directories. One is maven which contains the widgets and framework modules and publications which contains a maven project as demo publication. In WF 2.x corresponding directories for these two modules are misc/widgets and misc/demo. These directories are available with Widget Framework distributions.
