My previous mail was too short so now I'm adding
the details. The
following WYSIWYG issues are still open:
* Heading doesn't work in IE6/7.
* Insert Symbol doesn't work in IE6/7.
* The dialog fills the entire width of the page in IE6.
* Return doesn't generate a new paragraph in Firefox.
* Text inside tags like strong or em is displayed correctly in the
editor's text area but the tool bar is not synchronized in Firefox.
This
usually happens when switching from wiki to wysiwyg mode.
* The editor is not very responsive while typing: I finish typing and
the letters are not yet displayed (I experience this is most of the
browsers).
I think these issues should be fixed before 1.6RC1. I need two days to
work on them. That leaves me one day, Friday, and maybe the weekend to
add a few new features. The easiest one to add is Insert Link. Other
candidates are: monospace and definition lists. The only good part is
that the thing needed for fixing the above mentioned issues will
help me
implement the candidate features.
So I think is better to do the release on Monday, 22th.
+1 from me for postponing to 22nd. It's important we get the new
WYSIWYG in a working state. I'd suggest you don't add new features but
work only on bug fixes and on tests.
Having automated tests is critical IMO since otherwise we'll always
get regressions and we want a strong WYSIWYG editor (since this is the
main reason for rewriting it - our current one being...
"stubborn" ;)). So not only we need tests but you also need to work on
ensuring that our CI runs on different browsers: IE6, IE7, FF2, FF3.
Jean-Vincent and Raffaello can help you on this.
Since this was not done previously you'll need some time so I suggest
you start working on this immediately when 1.7 starts and only add new
features when you have your test setup in place.
WDYT?
Thanks
