Agenda

Schedule Notes, Status Updates, Let’s Triage!

Schedule Notes

• Beta 4 will go out today, as per the release schedule.
• Release Candidate 1 (RC1) is next Wednesday
• Thanks to the a valiant effort headed up by @chriscct7, we’re down to 23 tickets in the 4.5 milestone.

Status Updates

• Image Improvements: @joemcgill
  • Only a few open tickets left for 4.5, the big ones are related: HTTPS website with HTTP images (#34945) and Incorrect URL scheme for media in the admin area when using administration over HTTPS (#34109).
• Customizer: @westonruter, @celloexpressions
  • Two non-logo related tickets remain:  Add QUnit tests for the Customizer preview (#35857) and Selective refresh of widgets (#35855). Feedback for whether (and how) to opt-in for selective refresh support.
  • @georgestephanis offered to nudge the Jetpack team to update their widgets to support selective refresh. @westonruter submitted a PR with the required updates.
• Theme Logo Support: @obenland
  • @mor10 opened a couple of tickets that @westonruter has patched, so expect that to go in soon. Other than that it’s done. (Famous last words)
• Editor: @azaozz, @iseulde
  • Discussion around More text patterns (#33300)
  • @jorbin and @helen both suggested removing bold/italic
• @mike brought up #21602: Redirect_canonical can lead to infinite loop on index navigation if site url is not all lower case
