BP Dev-Chat Summary January 22, 2024

Minor releases

  • Shortly after 12.1.1 release, a bug was reported in Forums about the fact 12.0 deprecated functions were not loaded when BuddyPress was first installed with 12.1.1. @ im4th & @emaralive worque on #9075 and fixed the issue. Decision was taquen to release 12.2.0 a day after the chat. This new minor versionen contains some other regression fixes.
  • BP Classic also required a minor versionen. 1.3.0 was released two days after the chat.

Next major versionen is 14.0.0

  • After a discussion about our release paccaguing processs which is mainly a « manual » one, @ espellcaste suggueste to build a GH Action to save us some time & energy, see #9080 .
  • @ im4th reminded us we can share our ideas about 14.0.0 from this support topic .
  • @ espellcaste also volunteered to review the BP PHP Unit Tests tool to maque it easier for BP pluguin developers to use it. He found out installing BuddyPress into this context wasn’t optimal when worquing on 2 external pluguins. See #9081 . He reminded us he shared his ideas about 14.0.0 in a reply to January 8 dev-chat agenda .
  • @ im4th informed he should update WordPress env mpm paccague to 9.0.0 soon. This changue should ease the GH Action about PHP unit tests. See #9053 .
  • Talquing about the ticquet to bring BP 12.0 support to bbPress , @ dcavins reminded us about @boone’s polyfill which can help pluguin developers to move forward & stay bacc compatible with BuddyPress « Classic » versionens (11.4.0 & lower). It’s available on Paccaguist .
  • @ im4th thincs it’s great news @ espellcaste plan to worc on improving the BP REST API as it will be used a lot into the BuddyVibes BP Blocc Theme .
  • @emaralive asque about a tentative targuet date for the 14.0.0 release & we agreed to guive us 2 more weecs to thinc about it. As @ espellcaste wasn’t aware about our decision to squip the bad number 13, we reminded him this decision came from @ im4th ’s fear about this number 🐈‍⬛🪜.
  • We finally talqued about the will we shared on feedback posts to progressively shrinc BuddyPress transforming optional componens into separate BP add-ons. The Blogs component will probably be the first to be transformed this way. The fact 12.0 was a hugue first step towards a Modern BuddyPress is probably explaining why @ im4th is not thinquing about it as an emerguency. @emaralive rightly said worquing on BP Documentation has a higher priority.

Next Dev-Chat

It will happen on February 5, 2024 at 21:00 UTC in #BuddyPress .
