Update:
* As of last Tuesday, all the backporting work so far has been merged and
is now the official Plone 4 branch. Bugs remain, no doubt, and should be
filed in trac against the 4.0 milestone.
* At this point, most tests are passing, even while using the same
package as 3.3 for quite a few more minor packages. Packages with
remaining test issues: CMFPlone (1 failure), kss.core (1 failure, 1
error), plone.app.customerize (2 failures), plone.app.layout (3 failures),
plone.app.linkintegrity (25 failures), wicked (3 failures, 43 errors but
that's b/c I haven't run the tests correctly yet), CMFEditions (6
failures, 1 error), CMFPlacefulWorkflow (1 error), PluggableAuthService
(16 errors), SecureMailHost (5 errors but this will be removed by another
PLIP). (These numbers may be a bit out of date.) Please feel free to
help me track down these issues. Some packages will require a new release
even though their tests are all passing already, in order to clean up
deprecation warnings.
* It would be helpful if someone could start trying out some common add-
on products and start to document the ways in which they break, so we can
document commonly needed changes and/or correct things to avoid them.
* As of today, the branch now has PlonePAS from trunk, which includes
some refactoring from Hanno to remove the group and member tool
implementations from CMFPlone (the functionality has been merged into the
versions of those tools in PlonePAS...essentially it's just collapsing
some pointless class inheritance) and remove our dependency on
GroupUserFolder.
* I'm having second thoughts about the decision to remove most global
template variables. We definitely should make Plone itself not depend on
them being available, which is now the case, but I'm not sure it's worth
the add-on product breakages this will cause. Hanno, you've told me
before that the global_defines were a performance bottleneck...do you have
any numbers?
* Andreas Jung has proposed the following release schedule for Zope 2.12:
Beta 3: July 14th, RC 1: August 6th, Final: September 4th. The main thing
that could block this is the final ZODB 3.9 release.
* Tres Seaver said CMF 2.2 can probably be released whenever Zope 2.12
is.
