CMS Squad Sprint Announcement for 2022-09-15

[emteknetnz]

Notable work

• We migrated work to the CMS 5 branch that was previously merged-in to a different branch intended for CMS 5. Most notably:

  • Use Generators for ORM
  • Extensions can use protected methods for extension hooks to avoid exposing them as public methods on the class being extended
  • Templates can pass scalar types into method arguments (e.g. $doSomething(false)

• Upgraded the CMS 5 core symfony dependencies from v4 to v6

• Work to ensure correct CMS user permissions are used during end-to-end tests

Immediate changes

• FIX Normalise casing before casting fields (GuySartorelli)

Community pull requests merged

• prevent php 8 complaining about null values (lekoala)

Focus for next sprint

Focus in on upgrading significant dependencies for CMS 5, in particular upgrading TinyMCE and switching from SwiftMailer to symfony/mailer

We’ll also be presenting at StripeCon Europe 2022
