[cubicweb] CubicWeb roadmap meeting on November 6th, 2014

Version 3.17

This version is stable but old and maintainance will continue only as long as some customers will be willing to pay for it (current is 3.17.17).

If you're still using 3.17, you should go directly to 3.19.

Version 3.18

This version is stable but old and maintained (current is 3.18.6).

Version 3.19

This version is stable and maintained (current is 3.19.5).

Version 3.20

This version is still under development but should be released very soon now (expected next week). Its main feature being the inclusion of CWEP-002 (computed attributes and relations), along with many small improvement patches.

For details read list of tickets for CubicWeb 3.20.0.

We would have loved to integrate the pyramid cube in this release, but the debian packaging effort needed by the pyramid stack is quite big on is only reasonable if we target jessie only (at decent price).

Version 3.21

For now, the roadmap for 3.21 is still the complete removal of the dbapi, the merging of Connection and ClientConnection, and possibly including CWEP-003 (adding a FROM clause to RQL).

Integrate the pyramid cube.

CWEP-004 is being under heavy discussions.

Version 4.0

We expect to accelerate development of CubicWeb 4, which exact roadmap is still to be discussed, but we may already want:

• be pyramid-based (remove twisted, auth management, etc.),
• do not have anything left of old dbapi and ClientConnection,
• integrate squareui as main (and only) web-ui "template" or remove web generation (almost) completely from cubicweb-core and provide it only through the cube system.
