New versions of Sencha Touch

I was doing a bit research and I came across this comment.

I have been working with Sencha products since Ext2. Throughout all these years I have been rewriting my code numerous time just to adapt to their freaking changing coding pattern.

From the troublesome Class.superclass.method.call() to the new me.callParent(), till the recent adoption of initialize & removal of initComponent in ST2, I would suggest you to go for the newest release since whatever in the past will not be reuse again. Learn the new coding style, don't waste time on the old structure. It won't help you much, considering our web is changing very fast and ST1 and ST2 is pretty disjoint as well.

While 1.1 is good old solid (much like Ext), v2 is much fun to work with with the auto loader.

I'm ok with change, but I don't feel like revising my application every 6months or so. My question is: how often does Sencha bring out a new version? (Can be EXTJS or Touch). I did already try to find it on the website of Sencha but I think previous versions are banned to the dark ages or something.

There isn't a public road map available but like any software that is still growing, expect newer versions to be released. With the mobile space changing at a rapid pace, the Sencha team has to address those changes and meet the needs of their customers. It shouldn't be a deterrent from using Sencha products. In fact, with the release of ST2 and many adoptions from Ext JS4, they have not only simplified their path/direction but made it easier for us developers.
