Roadmap

Version 493.1 by Thomas Mortagne on 2019/01/25

The XWiki development process uses JIRA for listing all tasks to be implemented and all bugs to be fixed.

You'll find there the dates and versions planned for issues to be fixed and hence the XWiki roadmaps. There's also a release calendar listing all known dates for future releases. Please understand that these dates are often tentative since XWiki's development is open source and lots of committers/contributors are working in their free time on XWiki.

If you're interested to help out check the contributing page.

Information

We're releasing several top level projects together and as such we've decided to have the same Roadmap page for all of them. Thus this page contains the roadmap for the following projects: XWiki Commons, XWiki Rendering and XWiki Platform.

General goals for all releases:

  • More tests
  • Better javadoc
  • More documentation on xwiki.org
  • Code cleanup/refactoring

Already implemented roadmaps can be found in the archives.

Note that all planned release dates are also entered in the Calendar on JIRA.

XWiki 11.0

Leftovers from 10.x:

  • Marius/Adel: Auto complete of references in WYSIWYG Macro Dialog (+ grouping feature so that users don't get both "page" and "reference" at the same time + "deprecated"/"priority" to show "page" more proeminently than "reference")
  • Simon: Import: make it work with new versions of Libre Office (idea: use a more recent fork of jodconverter, we identified one and check if we need to merge changes we did in our fork)
  • All: Fix all WCAG failing tests and more generally move to WCAG 2.1 (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/) - Rationale: usability through accessibility, current failing test reducing trust in CI

New topics:

  • All: BFD (Priority on Notifications for Guillaume)
  • All: Fix all WCAG failing tests and more generally move to WCAG 2.1 (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG21/) - Rationale: usability through accessibility, current failing test reducing trust in CI
  • STAMP research project: Vincent(30%)
  • FASTEN research project: Vincent (20%) + Thomas (30%)
  • Marius: Ability to rename an AWM app
  • Thomas: Move to Velocity 2.x
  • Simon: Fix caching of JS resources forcing reload when upgrading XWiki. Especially for the Navigation Panel.
  • Adel: Upgrade to Hibernate 5.x
