Dev Chat Summary: December 12th

Dev Chat Scheduling

As many folks will be away over the Christmas/New Year period, the next few meetings will be as follows:

  • December 19: Normal meeting.
  • December 26: Normal meeting will not be happening. There are likely to be core folks around to answer questions for an open floor session.
  • January 2: Normal meeting.

5.0.2 Schedule and Scope

Please note that WordPress 5.0.1 has just been released, so any previous mentions of scope or schedule for WordPress 5.0.1 should now be read as applying to WordPress 5.0.2.

WordPress 5.0.2 is intended to be released two weeks after WordPress 5.0, which would make the release date December 20. To give a little more space before the Christmas/New Year holiday period, I’ve proposed that it be released December 19.

Milestone Dates

  • Release Candidate 1: December 14, 2018
  • Release Candidate 2 (if needed): December 17, 2018.
  • General Release: December 19, 2018.

The following items are in scope for the 5.0.2 release:

  • Gutenberg 4.7 was released today, the fixes in this plugin release will also be in WordPress 5.0.2.
  • Twenty Nineteen bugs and visual issues.
  • There are a few PHP 7.3 compatibility fixes to be made.

Any other tickets currently milestoned for 5.0.2 will be considered on a case-by-case basis, priority will be given to tickets with patches, testing, screenshots, and any other relevant information to show that they’re ready to land immediately.

5.1 Schedule and Scope

As there are already over 200 tickets fixed in WordPress 5.1, I’d like to propose that WordPress 5.1 has a relatively short release cycle.

Milestone Dates

  • Beta 1: January 10, 2019
  • Release Candidate 1: February 7, 2019
  • General Release: February 21, 2019

A key point from the WordPress 5.0 cycle was that it demonstrated the value of having a hard feature freeze at beta 1, as well as string freezes and strict bug fixing policies during the release candidate phase. With that in mind, I’d like to propose that we retain these policies for the WordPress 5.1 cycle.

The tickets already fixed in WordPress 5.1 need to be reviewed, to ensure they’re all stable for release in this cycle.

Apart from that, the PHP upgrade warnings and the White Screen of Death protection from the Site Health Check project are currently the only uncommitted features scheduled for WordPress 5.1. The PHP upgrade warnings are currently soft warnings, ahead of the minimum PHP version bump proposed for April 2019.

@matt will be continuing his role as release lead into WordPress 5.1. Any other feature proposals will need to be approved by him.

Please leave feedback on this post, so the scope and schedule can be confirmed in the next day or two.

Focus and Component Updates

REST API

The REST API group will be re-opening discussion around authentication solutions. They’ll be posting further information about this project on make/core.

Core JS

The Core JS group didn’t meet this week, due to many folks travelling home from WCUS. They’ll be resuming normal meetings next week.

Core Themes

The current themes focus is on triaging Twenty Nineteen issues for 5.0.2, as well as preparing to move activity from GitHub into Trac. This move will likely happen immediately after 5.0.2.

Dev Chat Summary: November 21st (5.0 Week 8)

This post summarizes the dev chat meeting from November 21st (Slack archive).

5.0 Planning and Updates

  • Gutenberg 4.4 and WordPress 5.0-beta5 shipped, including updates to the block editor, PHP 7.3 support, and Twenty Nineteen.
  • The 5.0 / Gutenberg team continued their daily updates to Make/Core, noting PRs and issues remaining, as well as recent and upcoming plugin releases (see 11/16, 11/19, 11/20).
  • There are a few pending tasks in Trac needing attention, which meant release candidate didn’t happen yet. On the Gutenberg side, milestones are clear after 4.5.1 was released early in the day. Anyone who can commit or review, it would be great to get your attention on those remaining Trac tickets as a priority. Find out more in the post just released today.
  • The documentation reorganisation is merged and new documentation is being added. There are a couple of excellent outlines available for users and site maintainers as well as designers and developers.

Focus and Component Updates

  • The PHP team shared last week’s meeting recap with notes on Servehappy, adding support for PHP version requirements to themes, and beginnings of coordination with the Theme Review team.
  • The JavaScript team shared this week’s meeting recap with notes on correcting package global names and npm packages publishing workflow.
  • The Privacy team met earlier today, so only their agenda is currently available that covers 5.0 testing/patches, 3rd party code on wp.org footers, mobile app permissions and tracking, Google Fonts in Gutenberg, and Google reCAPTCHA 3.0. A full recap will be posted soon.

Announcements and Open Floor

  • The date of the release candidate and the WordPress 5.0 release was discussed. The primary goal is to finish the RC, then decide upon an appropriate release date.
  • @aaroncampbell asked for volunteers to help onboard people, and guide them to first bugs for non-Gutenberg work at WCUS. Please reach out to him if you’re able to help.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 28 21:00 UTC in the #core Slack channel. Please feel free to drop in with any updates or questions. If you have items to discuss but cannot make the meeting, please leave a comment on the upcoming agenda post so that we can take them into account.

PHP Meeting Recap – October 22th

This recap is a summary of our previous PHP meeting. It highlights the ideas and decisions which came up during that meeting, both as a means of documenting and to provide a quick overview for those who were unable to attend.

You can find this meeting’s chat log here.

Chat Summary

    • We started discussing roadmap and priorities for Servehappy. It was not clear for everyone what the current state of the project is. Based on latest information we had, we settled on the fact that Servehappy is still considered a blessed task and that it was just moved out of 5.0 because of time constraints. Current goal is to get it included in a minor release following 5.0, as already suggested by the 5.0 release lead.
    • There’s an immediate need for getting more testers to actually test WSOD protection on real, complex sites with multiple plugins and custom code.
    • We discussed including the WSOD protection fork in the beta tester plugin so people can easily switch, but this would violate the plugin repository guidelines.
    • We also discussed what it would entail to commit it early into trunk to get it to run on the wordpress.org infrastructure. We should create a #meta ticket to discuss the details of this.

Next week’s meeting

  • Next meeting will take place on Monday, October 29th, 2018 at 15:00 UTC in #core-php.
  • Agenda: Continue discussion about getting more people to test WSOD protection.
  • If you have suggestions about this but cannot make the meeting, please leave a comment on this post so that we can take them into account.
