Good documentation is a cornerstone of any SDK and Sencha Touch is no exception. Over the past few

Good documentation is a cornerstone of any SDK and Sencha Touch is no exception. Over the past few

releases, we have been steadily improving our API Reference. RC1 has seen overhauled documentation and

examples for 17 key classes; for the first time including screenshots and useful configuration options.

See the release notes for a full list, or check out the docs for Carousel, Button or List.

Despite these improvements, we’re not done with our documentation yet. Our primary focus over the

coming weeks is improving all parts of our learning materials – including new examples, guides and

screencasts. Andrew Neil has been contributing some great ones to our learning page.

API Changes

The last two releases (0.99 and RC1) have seen a number of API changes. These have been done to bring

consistency to the framework before the 1.0 release. Part of the peril of participating in a beta is

that APIs can change – we’ve tried to make this as painless as possible by providing good backwards-

compatibility with previous versions.

We have a full list of all changes in the Release Notes and although most of your app should continue

to work, we urge you to update your application code as soon as possible as the backwards-compatibility

measures will be removed in the final 1.0 release.
