Work completed in the last couple of weeks
Recently most of our updates have mentioned our focus on silverstripe/linkfield and (surprise!) we’re still working on it. The last couple of weeks have mostly been about tidying it up, improving test coverage, and adding documentation.
We’ve also created the next-major branches for all supported modules. We’re likely to start working on CMS 6 properly in April but we’ve decided to get a head start preparing everything so we can jump right in when we’re ready.
Bug fixes and other immediate changes
-
Eagerloading chains skip adding to some relation lists - patched in
silverstripe/framework - dispatch-ci being added to places it shouldn’t be
-
“Undefined index” error when accessing some model admins - patched in
silverstripe/admin
Changes to look forward to in future releases
- Create CMS 6 branches for all commercially supported modules
- Correctly check if values from
ini_get()are true-like or not - Provide a way to pre-filter and pre-sort eager loaded data

Focus for the next couple of weeks
Our main focus for the next while is to make sure we’ve got everything sorted for Silverstripe CMS 5.2.0, which will be tagged stable in April.
We’re also starting to look at what the next big piece of work will be now that we’ve pretty much wrapped up work on silverstripe/linkfield.
