Are there new things to know for developing in 1.2?

What has changed in 1.2 which would be important for developers?

These structures can help me. Are there other changes in the code? I read of the "hints" as an example.

Some news can be found in this thread: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/1-2-beta-tips-tricks-faq.52836/

For my reference I include quotes of your posts from there here:

new code events
load_class
notices_prepare
template_file_change
init_router_public

new code event editor_setup

If you have any add-ons that display content on the main page, the forum listings home page , and they are no longer working with 1.2 then the solution may be as simple as what controller name is being looked at. In particular, XenForo_ControllerPublic_Index should now be XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum.

So if your code has this....

$controllerName = $params['controllerName'];
$controllerAction = $params['controllerAction'];
if ($controllerName == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Index' and $controllerAction == 'Index')
{
     $content .= $template->create('my_template', $params);
}

.... and it used to show up on the forum listing home page but it no longer does under 1.2, then change it to:

$controllerName = $params['controllerName'];
$controllerAction = $params['controllerAction'];
if ($controllerName == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum' and $controllerAction == 'Index')
{
     $content .= $template->create('my_template', $params);
}

There's at least 1 other great improvement => Controller->jsonParams
There's no need to create a new viewclass to return some json data anymore.
(maybe there was another way in the pre xf 1.2 Beta4 but i wasn't aware of any)
