Would it be possible to update the Features module to v2? It has a significantly improved UI that really helps if using Open Outreach to build a custom site (and thus need to work with Features).

Good timing for this feature request. We had just started looking at what is needed to switch to Features 2 when this issue was posted.

The major change is that field bases and field instances are separated.

The needed steps are roughly:

  • Reintroduce a base Debut feature that will contain any field bases that are used by more than one feature.
  • Those features that need a shared base field will have a dependency on Debut.
  • Review and regenerate all the features, removing deprecated features.field.inc files.
  • Then, since we'll need to release a new version of each of the features, we'll look at any outstanding clean up work that is needed, including deleting obsolete make.inc files.
  • Update the two Open Outreach features and add an update script to enable the revised Debut feature.
  • Issue a new release of Open Outreach.

Rather than re-introducing a base feature, we've expanded the Apps Compatible module to provide field bases. See #1717892: Add support for field handling.
