19th20th of February 2024 - 16.1.0 : 26th of February 2024
XWiki 16.0.0
General goals:
- Introduce new important changes in 16.0.0 (ie early in the cycle to have the time to stabilize)
- Finish work for 15.10.x
- Stabilization
- Finish features started in the XWiki 15.x cycle so that they are considered finished by the stakeholders. It's important to plan quickly a meeting with your stakeholders to discuss that.
- We didn't finish migrating from LT to LD, we need to progress and finish it ideally in 15.10.x
- We need to finish realtime so that it's business ready in 15.10.x
- Re WCAG, we need to ideally finish fixing all issues for 15.10.x too. If not possible we need to define a target.
- New PDF export: needs to not have known important bugs open
- All these should be merged on the 15.10.x branch
