VaultWiki Roadmap

[Alfa1]

Is 4.0.25 still planned?

[ACL]

Yes it would seem so, based on a reply in issue #5588: https://www.vaultwiki.org/issues/5588/

As for 4.1, is there some kind of plan when it comes to the Alpha (then Beta) releases? For example, would it be safe to assume an Alpha 2 could drop around a month after Alpha 1, then Alpha 3 in another month, etc? I'm hoping for a 4.1 stable milestone in Q1/early Q2 so that I can migrate my XF1 site over to XF2.x (maybe 2.1?) soon after, with VW intact, enabled and accessible etc. But let's see what happens as quality programming and testing can't be rushed.

Our typical release schedule early in a branch's life is releases every 3-5 weeks. We do not place an upper limit on the number of Alpha/Beta releases. We're doing intermediate builds this time around, so I expect the Alpha/Beta period would span fewer releases than last time (4.0.x), since there is shorter wait time between some fixes and test feedback.

With XenForo 2.2 coming up within a month or so, do you anticipate VW4.1 to be compatible with XF2.2?

[pegasus]

Based on the HYS articles posted so far, I don't see anything that would prevent VaultWiki from working correctly or that would cause any issues. However, there may be an unexpected bug or two that we would not be able to know until XF 2.2 is actually released.

Note that new XF 2.2 features, such as Writing Before Registering, would not be available for wiki content until XF 2.2 is in hand and the feature can be added, likely in a future branch like VW4.2.

Is PHP8 compatibility planned for the next release?

[pegasus]

Yes. The update looks fairly straightforward, from where the product is now. We intend to support PHP8 starting in 4.1.2.

Note, however, that PHP8 compatibility would only be possible if you are using XenForo 2.2.2+.
Other platforms/versions are not PHP8 compatible, and VaultWiki support for PHP8 in those cannot be guaranteed as a result.

[Alfa1]

So will 4.1.2 also work on xf1 on php7?

[pegasus]

Yes, we would not remove support during a minor release.
XF1 will continue to be supported until VW 4.2. But with XF1, you should not upgrade to PHP8, because XF1 will throw errors in that situation.

[Alfa1]

Yes, I know. I can only upgrade xf2.2 to PHP8.
