7.0.0 release first feedbacks & results
2 bugs related to the 7.0.0 release were posted on Trac:
- #8411 The Groups Administration screen was not reachable anymore for configs using the multiblog constant
BP_ENABLE_MULTIBLOG. ✅ It has been fixed. - #8414 Using the BP Blogs component tool to repair site icon / blavatar synchronization on non multisite configs was generating an error due to a WordPress function not available. ✅ It has been fixed.
We also spent some time investigating a possible bug about Activity recorded dates but it turned out it wasn’t involving the plugin. We’ve decided to package a minor release (7.1.0) before christmas. It should be available for download later today (around 21:00 UTC).
The 7.0.0 release had the best download spike of our 2020 releases. It was reached on December 11 with 34326 downloads 🙌
About the 8.0.0 features wishlist!
We’ll post a new call for tickets at the very beggining of 2021, the same way we did it for the 7.0.0 release. Everyone will be welcome to contribute to it. You can start looking for Trac tickets you’d like to see fixed for 8.0.0.
@slaffik will personally take a look at good-first-issue tasks, on those that he has created a while ago, and will open a new ticket to work on bringing Twenty Twenty One compatibility improvements to our default Template Pack 👍.
Finally and more globally about development cycles, we’ll have a discussion about how we can improve things such has release regularity, release leading, etc.
Next Dev-Chat
It will happen next year on January 6 at 19:00 UTC and of course in #BuddyPress. If you have ideas or questions, feel free (and we are strongly encouraging you) to comment this summary to share them!
