Over the last fortnight we performed regression testing on the 4.12.0-beta1 release, and tagged 4.12.0-rc1. Work continued on updating deprecation notices and removing deprecated code, and on updating the front-end build stack across our core modules.
We also updated our transifex settings so that any strings which are translated in one module will automatically be translated in any other module using that same English source string.
Changes coming in CMS 5
-
DataList::sort()will no longer accept raw SQL - a separateDataList::orderBy()method has been implemented if you need to sort a list using raw SQL.
Changes coming in CMS 4.13
i18nTextCollectornow supportsSomeClass::classsyntax- Deprecated code is not actively called from core code (at least as far as is feasible)
Community pull requests merged
As always,a big thank you to community members who raise pull requests to fix bugs or implement new high value features. The following were merged over the last two weeks:
- SiteConfig should use getCMSCompositeValidator by Loz Calver
- Save long decimal values into DBDecimal field correctly by Michal Kleiner
- GraphQL vars are not always defined by Nicolaas / Sunny Side Up
- SSViewer check object exists before calling prop or method_exists by Chris Penny
Work in progress
Over the next couple of weeks we’ll continue upgrading the front-end build stack for css and javascript in the CMS. There’s still some deprecated API to remove from CMS 5, and we’re committed to ensuring it has support for PHP 8.2.
We’re also aiming to tag the 4.12.0 stable release in that time.
