3.1 Status

[Oleg]

Hi everyone,

I went through the blog post and topics in 3.1 RFC forum to compile an updated progress report on 3.1 Ascraeus.

Below, "merged" means the feature is in develop branch and effectively finished. "Patch in progress" means there is a complete or incomplete patch either in the ticket or in the RFC topic. Complete patches are complete according to patch submitters. These patches need to be reviewed, and if no issues are raised can be merged as is. Incomplete patches are those where either the submitter stated that additional work is needed or "complete" patches that were reviewed and comments or objections raised. "RFC only" means either there is no code attached to either the ticket or the RFC topic, or there is code which is potentially relevant but not in a form of patch for the particular RFC; in other words, essentially work on these RFCs has not started.

Merged:

• Coding Guideline Modifications RFC Ticket

Rejected:

• Removal of subsilver2 RFC Ticket

As you can see, there are several features which have been implemented and need to be reviewed. While patch merging is done by phpBB developers anyone can review submitted patches and provide comments. Of course, for RFCs that do not have a complete implementation everyone is welcome to contribute code as well.

[Meis2M]

thank u
i think this feature not change again.

[Meow]

Does it mean that subsilver2 will not be removed in 3.1?

[naderman]

Yes, that has been decided quite some time ago now.

[rxu]

Hmm. IIRC we've decided to remove it from the 3.1 package but still provide update and support (as a separate package).

[bantu]

I've added "Support for X-Accel-Redirect and X-Sendfile headers for attachment downloads" to the "Merged" list.

[MichaelC]

Hmm. IIRC we've decided to remove it from the 3.1 package but still provide update and support (as a separate package).

As the original point was rejected but then this was built upon to be a change to the build script rather than complete removal but still as part of the same RFC, shouldn't the RFC be marked as merged (or what status it currently is) rather than rejected?

[Oleg]

How about instead reviewing some of the patches that need to be reviewed?

Very useful... Thank you!

[sooskriszta]

Any updates?
