The next release of OAE 1.x is nearing completion and quick update is in order.
This release provides a set of UI performance optimizations, caching
improvements as well as fixes to a number of slow queries. A key goal is to
reduce page load times as well as the number of requests currently required to
assemble a page. We've also made a number of other minor improvements (see
highlighted ticket list below). We hope too to include a number of
accessibility fixes that are currently pending merge and being reviewed.
Assuming QA proceeds as planned we should be in a position to produce a release
candidate in the next week or so with a final release slated for mid-July.
Cheers,
Anthony
