| - | | + | * Next step: DK has proposed next steps; CH will implement soon. |
| + | | ||
| + | * Next step: DK will start later today. This means that the code now has a freeze on any new features that add strings; if we need to merge anything like that, we will need to create a release-9.0 branch to separate the 9.0 code from upcoming 9.1 code. | ||
| - | == Not Started - With Prerequisites | + | === PHP Version Discussion === |
| - | * [[https:// | + | Discussion: release 9.0 is currently slated to release with support for PHP 7.4. Should we drop this and move to 8.0 since 7.4 is now at end of life? Or should we consider releasing as-is (to avoid unexpected last-minute dependency problems) but raising the version requirement in release 9.1? |
| - | * Prerequisite: | + | |
| + | No objections to sticking with 7.4 for 9.0 and bumping to PHP 8.0 for 9.1. Should put a warning on 9.0 release warning of this plan. | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Release Date Discussion === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demian proposed releasing version 9.0 in April, as it seems that work is nearly complete, and we just need to allow time for outstanding translation work to be completed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | April 24th was agreed upon as a good date to allow ample time for translation in light of holidays, etc. | ||

| - | ==== 3. Open Q&A / Other Topics? ==== | + | One of the areas of potential improvement identified by the recent documentation survey is the approach to PHPDoc comments. Our basic approach hasn't changed much since 2007, but the PEAR standards are now very old, and language features like improved type support render some aspects of the comments redundant. Is there an opportunity to do things in a more modern way without losing the benefits of our current approach? |

| + | * Can we replace some/all of our PEAR style rules with PSR-12? | ||
| + | * Desirable: raise line length from 80 characters to 120 characters (This proposal was received positively). | ||

| + | |||
| + | Mario followed up on the Google Scholar issue discussed in a previous call. The http-equiv meta header is causing problems. Mario found a workaround that seems to help. Demian proposed opening a PR so we can discuss whether core changes are needed, and re-evaluate why we're using http-equiv and whether we should do things differently. | ||

| + | Stephanie offered to help with Bootstrap 5 upgrading and/or other theme-related refactoring. Demian described the current plan (refactoring to components, and using the abstraction of components to make code more feature-agnostic). Stephanie is willing to help with this as needed if time permits. | ||
