12.0.0: function signatures for hook callbacks
@espellcaste and I thought it was important to talk about the pull request he suggested about changing action callbacks returned value (from boolean to no returned value) See #GH55. During the discussion we had with @dcavins, we came to this conclusion as the change is a possible breaking one & targeted callbacks are in a bp-component-functions.php file we are not discouraging third party plugin authors from using them, these functions shouldn’t have their signature changed. Instead we should use hooks the right way inside a bp-component-hooks.php file.
12.0.0: first schedule & feature/fix ideas
We’ve decided the main focus of this release will be to merge BP Rewrites into Core (see #4954) and create a new plugin to provide backward compatibility users will be able to use in case one of their third party plugin is not compatible with BuddyPress Rewrites. We’ll also raise WordPress required version to above 5.8 and move legacy widgets into this plugin. We agreed a nice name for this plugin would be BP Classic!
Here’s 12.0.0 initial schedule
- 12.0.0-beta1 : April 15,
- 12.0.0 : May 31.
The BP Attachments Add-on is ready for beta testing!
@im4th plans to package a first beta version to submit it to the WordPress.org Plugin directory. @dcavins will use the next 2 weeks to test it as @im4th ask him to do so to feel more secure about it. To see the list of available features, you can have a look at the add-on’s GH readme.
Next Dev-Chat
It will happen on February 13 at 21:00 UTC in #BuddyPress. If you have specific points or ideas you want to discuss about, don’t hesitate to share them in comments.
