Hi devs, XWiki 6.3 has been released and we’re starting XWiki 6.4, which is the last release of the 6.x cycle. The goal is to release 6.4 before the end of the year so that we can start the new year with XWiki 7.x dev.
XWiki 6.4 being the last release, it’s supposed to be a stabilization release (no new features) and the goal is to finish/polish all the features that were introduced in the 6.x cycle. Namely: — Flamingo. We still haven’t stabilized fully the new Flamingo skin. We’re still fixing issues at a high rate and there are still quite a lot of open issues on mobile devices for example, and some tuning to do (fully decide on the Add button location, on the top menu behavior, etc). — Performances. At the moment the performances are back to what they were in 5.4.5 but we need to go beyond that since one of the goal of the 6.x cycle was better performances — Finish the work started by Marius on the Tree and new Livetable integration In addition, Lyes/Caty/Gabriela/Clemens are working very actively on improving some applications. They’ve already covered the Forum app, the Calendar app and are now moving to the Meeting Manager app. So this work should continue and at some point we’ll need to decide if we want to move those apps in the xwiki organization in GitHub (see http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km). Last, I had discussed with Lyes the ability to add Ratings to the Repository app. In addition, I know XWiki SAS is going to lend a new contributor, Victor, who is also going to help work on improving the app! :) It would be great if either Lyes or Victor would work on adding the Ratings to the Repository app during XWiki 6.4. To sum up: * Thomas - Performances and core bug fixes/stabilization * Marius - Tree + new LT integration * Guillaume + Caty - Flamingo polishing + Add button/Navbar decisions * Edy/Vincent - General stabilization (list of specific JIRA issues to be defined) * Lyes + Victor + Caty - Apps improvement in general + Ratings Dates ====== I’m proposing: - 6.4M1: 1st of Dec - 6.4M2: 15 Dec - 6.4RC1: 22 Dec - 6.4Final: 29 Dec WDYT? Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
