Anyone any insights on this?

The voting entity needs some backwards-incompatible changes. Until someone writes an update function to update existing sites for those changes, I'm not going to make a "stable" release because that would be lying about the status of this module and giving you false expectations. "Beta" is a better description of the current code, until this problem gets sorted out.

In reality, since there is almost no community contribution to this module, what I will probably end up doing is to make a new major branch with these changes and without an upgrade path. I don't have time to work on writing the entity update functions and I don't expect to get any testing from community for any update functions, and I don't have a large site with Voting API data that I can use to develop and test them myself.

I will gladly work with anyone who wants to write these update functions, but I'm not planning on doing that myself.

What are those changes, and against what version of the module is that? And/or is there an issue for that already? Edit: This? #3153550: Vote entity unnecessarily re-implements features provided by base class

Hi tr,

Drupal 10 is scheduled for EOL in just under a year, which is not a lot of time considering there's no D11 release. This contrib has been really useful, but I can't see how much progress has been made towards Drupal 11 compatibility, other than a 4.0.x-dev branch that was last updated about 9 months ago in March.

In order to involve the community a bit more, what are your thoughts on the following suggestions?

  • Create a beta, or alpha, release of the current 4.0.x-dev branch.
  • Use this ticket to track issues that are blocking a stable release.

I'm using dev-version on production. I think current dev-version is really stable
