Hi Angelo, I may have misunderstood the roadmap for core addons <https://www.django-cms.org/en/blog/2017/02/01/core-addons/>:

I thought that meant *Divio* made the decision to deprecate cmsplugin-filer and would be developing migration paths. I haven't seen any discussion on this list regarding this change, the blog is the only source of details I've seen. It looks like cmsplugin-filer development stopped last fall, but the README has not been updated to warn people away from using it in new projects so it's not clear if it is 'officially' deprecated or not. Are there any known upcoming changes in django-cms that will break compatibility with cmsplugin-filer? Will pull requests/issues for cmsplugin-filer be ignored going forward? Are the new favored plugins production ready? A quick glance at the djangocms-picture README suggests that beyond needing to do some sort of data migration, users would potentially need to also update templates, settings, etc. Any other known hurdles that will need to be addressed when paving the migration path? Happy to help test any proposed migration path of course! Thanks, John-Scott On Thursday, May 25, 2017 at 11:31:41 PM UTC-7, Angelo Dini wrote: > > Hello John, > > that is no Problem.
