Prevent BP from being updated when minimum requirements are not met (#7196) @boonebgorges: “If we’re going to drop PHP 5.2 support for 2.8, then something should happen for 2.7 to provide warnings. I’m bumping this so I remember to look at it in the next few days. if anyone has thoughts or wants to have it instead, let me know on the ticket.”
Display and filter by member type on Dashboard > Users (#6060) @dcavins has patch. @boonebgorges: “This is a cool enhancement, and it’d be great to get it in, especially since it appears to be close to being ready.” @dcavins: “Yes, I’ll push this through along with the related group types ticket (#7175).”
Groups query overhaul (#5451) @boonebgorges will be posting about backward compatibility issues related to the group query refactoring.
Use WP 4.3 site icon feature to set a blog’s “profile photo” (#6544) @rayisme has patch which mirrors the site icon URL to blogmeta instead of making a direct copy of the image.
Update BP_buttons class to accept new arg param for $element_type (#7226) @rayisme has patch and requested feedback on the new, proposed class `BP_Core_HTML_Element`.
Improve group management members screen (#7105) @dcavins will be working on the changes this week.
Friends: Add caching to BP_Friends_Friendship class (#6978) @dcavins has patch. @boonebgorges: “It would be helpful to demonstrate the need (or lack thereof) by writing tests that count `$wpdb->num_queries` before and after removal. Maybe go ahead with the proposed changes first, and then worry about removing the redundant cache afterward when it’ll be simpler to write tests for.”
