5.2.3 Media Tickets

All relevant tickets have been closed. 🎉 Props @sergeybiryukov on back-porting bug fixes.

5.3.0 Release Media Lead

Following up on the 5.3.0 Release Schedule and Scope, we were asked to identify a Media release lead. To coordinate media related tickets.

  • @antpb has expressed interest in doing this again, but wanted to open up the opportunity to anyone else interested.
  • @joemcgill wondered if this role was redundant with @azaozz role as Core technical lead, since most of the priority Media items are ones he is already working on.

If you’re interested in volunteering for this role, feel free to comment here, in #core-media, or DM @joemcgill or @antpb directly in Slack.

5.3.0 Tickets

  • #47156: Consider a way to clear the wp.a11y.speak() live regions – @anevins followed up and noted that the Drupal a11y team have a similar issue and this might be a limitation of aria-live regions, generally. The plan is to follow up with the #core-accessibility team this week.
  • #44581: users without ‘edit_posts’ capability never get informed that their uploads succeed – @pbiron asked that this get moved into the 5.3 release for review.
  • #47872: Try to create image sub-sizes again when uploading fails with a PHP fatal error – @azaozz asked for review, noting that testing requires the client to re-try creation of image sub-sizes after uploading an image and the server “crashes” with HTTP 500 error.
  • #40439: Save progress of intermediate image creation after upload – @azaozz believes this is complete, but would like more testing before closing.
  • #47873: Introduce handling of “Big Images” – @azaozz added as a new enhancement. Feedback appreciated.
  • #40175: Upload Validation / MIME Handling – @joemcgill noted that this stalled out after 5.2 and with the focus for 5.3 being on improving handling of large image uploads, would need to be punted to a future release unless someone else wants to pick it up for 5.3.
  • #35725: Add mime-type for Webp – @joemcgill doesn’t think #40175 should be a blocker for this ticket, but wasn’t sure if it should be in core without full browser support.
