[xwiki-devs] XE 1.6RC1 release planning
Hi, The date for releasing XE 1.6RC1 is today. However we are late on several points: new WYSIWYG, new rendering, maybe others. So we need to all together list what remains and when it can be finished. The deadline we had planned for the final 1.6 release was 22nd of September. We should still strive to release it at that date as much as possible. What I'm asking all committers here is to list the pending issues they have and when the can have it finished. Please list only critical things that have to go in the 1.6 release. I'm starting on the new rendering. What I have left: * Fix the nested list problem in wikimodel: http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/issues/detail?id=22 * Document the new syntax * Fix problem of < and > in HTML Cleaner, see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2669 * Change the syntax for italics: // instead of ~~ * Change the syntax for headers: == instead of 1[.1]* I should be able to have this done by Wednesday the 17th. What about others? Thanks -Vincent

I would like to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2655 and http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2621 at least before 1.6 final. XWIKI-2655 is done and need some tests and http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2621 should not be very long to fix, if I work only on this today I should be able to have it committed at the end of the day or tomorrow morning.
Thanks -Vincent

We still have to work for the insert link and insert image features. We hope to finish them tomorrow but even so we'll need one day more to test them carefully. 17th in the afternoon or 18th in the morning should be fine. Thanks, Marius Vincent Massol wrote:

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 -Vincent

I fully agree. I will close the remaining bugs till Monday. As soon as I'm done I'll start integrating Selenium and writing Selenium tests. I also have to write more unit tests.
