Hi guys and gals,
I have committed an intermediate commit of the component configuration/ menu parameters rework that is being done as we approach end-game on beta 2. This is a change that had to take place before beta 2 as it will impact the way third party developers build extensions.
The greater hope is that by doing it the way we are we clear up a lot of misconceptions and create an easier more fluid interface for end users.
As for UI naming conventions and semantics... those are up for grabs and we will pursue naming/language cleanup in the B2 <-> RC phase with the user documentation team.
As i get further to completion I will be posting notes in the 1.5 dev forum about the ideas/concepts behind what I am doing.
[NOTE] the beez template will be broken till the end of the rework because I am not going to chase down template override changes until I have the base logic done.
Thanks for your patience

Louis
