Dear Nuxeo CPS developers,
Hi Richard,
I'm sure everyone is very pleased to see all of the resources recently
deployed to improving our old workhorse CPS. I, for one, am very
grateful, especially for the new choice of UI editors ;)
Well it's gread to hear some feedback as well !
Looking ahead a little, I am wondering about the timing of events on
the CPS roadmap. Is a release for CPS 3.4.8 still planned, or are we
going to move directly to 3.5.0, with the much anticipated switch to
UTF-8? For convenience I have provided links to the Trac Milestones:
CPS has been branched in preparation for the upcoming 3.5.x releases.
As a consequence, 3.4.x releases can very well (and will) coexist with
3.5.x releases.
That being said, you can expect 3.4.8 to happen sooner than 3.5.0,
it's almost ready.
The idea is that the 3.4 branch should stay very stable, whereas we
allow ourselves to be less conservative in 3.5. For instance, we have
better HTML support in CPSSubscriptions, a different logic to keep
LDAP bind parameters... and the UI editor you mention (TinyMCE), of
course !
As for the move to UTF-8: this is indeed the first main goal of the
3.5 series, but it seems more reasonable to make 3.5.0 a fresh start,
including all the new features that have been developped since the
branching, so that UTF-8 support would actually start with 3.5.1. We
should update the roadmap on the trac project to account for that.
Now, I should mention for completeness that there is currently no
actual funding driving the UTF-8 migration, just personal involvement
with non profit organisations that need it. While I'd be very glad to
take the lead on this development, my clients wishes do sit ahead on
the todo-list.
All the best,
