MEETING NOTES

1. Release 3.10.6

Nothing, so far. Thanks Tobias!

2. Release 4.1

Fantastic work from the CMS Release Team, nearly no issues and a very smooth release day.

Documentation missing for child template, position of files

Only TinyMCE language issue

Thanks Benjamin!

3. Documentation

General problem with new features → Documentation missing

Idea to discuss: every PR only merged with documentation, will be brought to Prod. Dpt.

Idea video/Screencast for new features in beta release phase → for testers, documentation, marketing

4. Release 4.2

Going to draft an announcement message with preferred features and request for help

Idea: create testing packages which are different for each feature

Lessons learned when testing - where to collect?

5. Release 5.0

I [Niels] learned yesterday at JUG London that this feature list is likely misunderstood. The impression of some people yesterday was that Joomla would be rebuilt in such a way that nothing existing would be usable any more - which is far from true.

We discussed further and want to bring to public information:

• J5 should not break sites on update
• First Major versions (like .0) versions don’t have new features
• Minor versions (like .1) have new features
• Extensions that work in J4 will work in J5
• Deprecations will be removed in J5
• Solutions for deprecations should be provided

6. Release dates

We discussed the release dates in summer - if it has to be August 17. We will stay with this date.

7. Translation coordination

Stefan started coordination.

8. Other business

• Thanks to the CMS Release Team from OSM
• Testing tool with documentation - we will have a look https://testomat.io/
• Thank you George for Joomla 4.0!
• More members

Next CMS Release team meeting is scheduled for Wed. March 9, 19:00 UTC
