The Fork functionality is NOT for cross compatibility.
It is used for working on your component, and then being able to regenerate your component without loosing changes.

Your component is writen in the last standard way (almost) and the cross compatibility layer is in various places :
- legacy folder
- mcv.php file

Hope it helps
Coding is now a piece of cake

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
