# Mobile Dev Chat Summary for Oct 3, 2012

Today’s discussion mainly consisted of WPiOS planning. [Chat log](https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=WordPress-Mobile&day=2012-10-03&sort=asc#m15805).

Agenda:

 * WPiOS planning
 * XML-RPC in 3.5 (status update)

**WPiOS planning**

 * There are [9 tickets left](https://ios.trac.wordpress.org/report/16) in the 3.2
   milestone, visual editor, sounds, and the WPcom Notifications panel have been
   moved out to meet the deadline (1 week). Feature set for 3.2 is now Featured

   page and is pulled when the post or page is shared on social media. The image
   can be used to display in widget areas on your site or in a summary list of posts.
   support, app settings moved in-app, and comment push notification support for
   Jetpack-enabled blogs.
 * For sound effects, we agreed there needs to be a setting to turn them off ([#1407-ios](https://ios.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1407)).
 *  We discussed a new way to approach app development (starting with WPiOS). We’ll
   try this for the next few releases. In short:
    - Trunk should never be broken and effectively be submittable for bug fix updates
      without enhancements.
    - Enhancements should be worked on in branches or outside of trunk until ready.
    - When enhancements are ready and tested, an update is submitted and the version
      number is bumped.

**XML-RPC in 3.5 (status update)**

 * CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development
   Team builds WordPress. is now in betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given
   out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have
   gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel
   and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part
   of the process., but a few issues remain with the APIAPI An API or Application
   Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact
   with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. improvements.
   [@markoheijnen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/markoheijnen/) is going to take
   a look at these, among other things wp.getUsers has an issue and there needs 
   to be a way to mimic wp.getAuthors.
 * Overall we’re in a good place for 3.5. We should start planning app updates around
   the release so we can support the improvements once they’re available (revisionsRevisions
   The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published
   update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each 
   revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display
   indicates what has changed in each revision. + real previews, galleries, user
   details editable through apps).
