Work completed in the last couple of weeks
The team has been working on automating more of our CI and delivery process. This will hopefully mean faster builds and quicker turn around on bug fixes. We’re also dealing with some follow up work from Eager loading which should allow us to squeeze a bit more performance out of the feature.
Silverstripe also step away from its regular work last week for a special Innovation Week event. This gave us a few days to focus on more esoteric and edgy projects. Some of these ideas might make their way into Silverstripe CMS over the months and years to come.
We also released two security patches on July 31st.
Bug fixes and other immediate changes
- Automatic merge-ups
- Fieldspec
Enum(["value1","value2"])does not work - TagField triggers edit form change state when there are no changes
Changes to look forward to in future releases
- DataList doesn’t trigger eagerloading for first() and last() calls
- Create a module-standardiser tool
- Optimise filtering ID columns
- Update severity rating to document a 0.0 CVSS
- Circular dependency when using MAILER_DSN in env
- New eager loading functionality doesn’t eager load empty lists - results in unnecessary db calls
Community pull requests merged

Focus for the next couple of weeks
We are forging ahead with further automation to our workflows. With StripeConEU fast approaching next month we are also working behind the scene to prepare for the event.
