The development of blocks for 2.2 has started, but as others have already pointed out, it might take time to get it implemented and running well.
So, I would suggest that we change our development plan a little bit and consider adding those features to our 2.1.x code base that are independent from blocks, like e.g. the virtual sitemap components etc. Of course we should take care that the changes are not incompatible (apart from the one below :) ). WDYT? In addition I would like to "port back" the changes I made to the environment handling in 2.2 to 2.1.x as they improve the performance and clean up some hacks (not all :( ) we have in the code. And this would also make Leo's wish regarding the CocoonComponentManager easier. Unfortunately these changes are not 100% compatible: the o.a.c.Processor and the o.a.c.e.Environment interfaces have to change for this. But this shouldn't effect users, so it should be ok to change it. Is this ok? As a last note, my rewritten tree processor is growing (it's not feature complete yet), but I think it is very soon able to process all features of the sitemap and adding such things like virtual components shouldn't be that hard (hopefully).
