2.1.1 Release Plan

I've been working to go through all the open 2.x bug reports to see where we stand with each. Here's a summary:

• #3163339: Support unicode characters at trim_suffix (ellipsis) - this is a minor issue (IMHO) that is probably an easy fix and test, but does require some research to see how/if other core/contrib module handle things like this (if at all) and to make sure there are no security implications.
• #3013628: Maximum function nesting level reached for elements with many children on environments with XDebug - patch exists, needs to be converted into a MR and confirm that tests pass. Seems like a good issue for a novice-ish contributor.
• #3205728: noscript content appearing when HTML is being stripped - Unclear what a test would look like, so postponed until someone can provide more info.
• #3372101: Regression: More Labels No Longer Translated - interesting issue with current MR that works, but is not the 100% ideal solution. The ideal solution currently involves a core patch, so it seems we are moving towards a consensus where we merge in what we have, but then update things once the core patch lands.
• #3308868: Unclear trimming behavior (whole words or not?) - missing setting - personally, I think this should be marked as "Closed (won't fix)", but would be good to have additional input.
• #3356909: Settings from fields not validating correctly. - not a major issue and has a contributor working on it, so I'd love to see @sanket.addweb bring this one home.
• #3124017: Error cropping Japanese - this is a major issue involving character sets and probably RTL languages. This will likely involve a big refactoring of the code base and I don't think we are in a position to tackle this at the moment. We especially need a contributor with experience with non-Western character sets.
• #3353781: Wrong More link aria-label token [node:title] on non-nodes - probably an easy change, but need some input from someone with accessibility experience.

So, I think we should aim to get the following merged before releasing 2.1.1:

1. #3163339: Support unicode characters at trim_suffix (ellipsis)
2. #3013628: Maximum function nesting level reached for elements with many children on environments with XDebug
3. #3372101: Regression: More Labels No Longer Translated
4. #3353781: Wrong More link aria-label token [node:title] on non-nodes

I'll probably start working on the first two in the near future unless someone else picks them up and starts moving forward.

Both #3163339: Support unicode characters at trim_suffix (ellipsis) and #3013628: Maximum function nesting level reached for elements with many children on environments with XDebug are now ready for review.

I know #3163339: Support unicode characters at trim_suffix (ellipsis) is a minor issue, but it still strikes me as a new feature. Is that appropriate for a patch release, or should it be held for 2.2.0?

I think the other three can all be considered bugfixes.

Given how much time has passed since the last commit, I suggest releasing the current 2.1.x as 2.1.1 and hold the remaining issues for 2.1.2.

Great to see a new release. I do think some of these changes are new features rather than bug fixes, so I would have preferred a minor release to a patch release.

But happy to see it regardless.
