Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
OK figured I'd keep track of overall progress on one issue.
No critical feature or support requests left.
A couple of critical tasks
Most 4.7 stuff is either bumped a version or won't fix.
Critical bugs: one page + a handful
Ten pages of bugs total, of these, five are 'active'.
I'd say the bugs that are affecting the most people are:
IE7 ui issues: http://drupal.org/node/129240
Caching the taxonomy tree: http://drupal.org/node/83490
Drupal 5.5 (although it looks like problems started with 5.3): http://drupal.org/node/197895
Each of these had multiple duplicates, now pretty much all marked as such.

I can't tell you how awesome what you've done is, catch. You deserve about a dozen medals. I need to come up with some clever opensource way of thanking you for this.

Of course, issue statuses will be updated automatically. ;)
Also, this issue is hereby the official coordination for Views 1.7.
Comment #7
dwwMay I humbly recommend that you reconsider the above list for 5.x-1.8? 5.x-1.6 has a LOT of known bugs that are already fixed in 5.x-1.x-dev. If anything in the above list is a regression from 5.x-1.6, that should be critical before 5.x-1.7. Otherwise, all of this is just as broken now as it ever was, and can be fixed in the next iteration. Meanwhile, people continue to get burned with bugs in 5.x-1.6 that are already fixed. From the length of the above list (and the lack of replies in here since September) it doesn't look very promising that you're going to finish all of that anytime soon, if ever.
So, let's switch gears... let's make a realistic list of actually critical things that are broken in 5.x-1.x-dev, preferably only things that worked in 5.x-1.6 which are now broken, focus on that, and get 5.x-1.7 out with the already-huge list of fixes. Then, we can use the above list to focus efforts for 5.x-1.8. Really, you can release more often than once every two years and your users won't be upset. ;) Meanwhile, it's just a waste of everyone's time for 5.x-1.6 users to hit already fixed bugs, report them as if they're new, and have merlin say "This bug was fixed in -dev ages ago.".
p.s. Many of the issues in the above list are marked RTBC. What's the hold-up on at least committing those?
Comment #8
sunIf you look at the changelog, you'll notice that only a few bugs (leaving out minor ones) have been fixed since 5.x-1.6. Though I agree that above list is ambitious and some issues may be left for 1.8. However, Earl mentioned that he would not like to see 1.7 without the two major blocker issues being fixed. In my opinion, those could also be fixed later on - but in general I would like to cut down the list of PNR/RTBC issues a bit more for 1.7.
Yes, a bunch of issues is marked as RTBC currently - however, even those need to be reviewed carefully and may also require extended testing (ideally on existing production sites) to be sure they do not break existing sites. Also, having the above list at all is a major milestone for upcoming releases. Unfortunately, my mail to the development list asking for further patch testing did not attract much attention. I keep trying hard to schedule dedicated spare time for Views, but I cannot promise a release date for 1.7 yet (you know my other obligations).

And I agree with dww -- getting *some* fixes out to users is better than no fixes.

esmerel CreditAttribution: esmerel commentedSince this is a tracking issue, I'm not going to close it, but I'll put it in needs review with all the patches I've run across.
