7.0.0 release cycle updates
@im4th raised attention on the #8355 ticket. We have an important decision to take about how weāre adding the bp_moderate cap to site Administrators. Me, @boonebgorges and @johnjamesjacoby have been working on this ticket recently and I believe itās important other Core Developers give this ticket a look and eventually add their feedback to it.
@im4th also shared his decision to start working on adding the BP Types UI (Groups: #7179, Members: #7181) into BuddyPress trunk: expect to see a bunch of commits within the next 2 weeks!
@vapvarun shared his feedbacks about the @wordpress/env module weāve added last week. He tested it using Microsoft Windows (Many thinks to him š ) and find out it requires 2 other Node development dependencies:
@im4th will look for a way to include these dependencies only when BuddyPress is used on a Microsoft Windows platform.
@dcavins will post the Members Invitations updated patch next week. For 7.0.0 he plans to include the basic features making sure to have hooks at the right place to let plugin developers easily extend them.
