Agenda

Schedule, Updates.

Schedule

Reminder of the 4.5 release schedule:

• Beta 2 March 2nd.
• Beta 3 March 9th.
• RC1 on March 23rd.
• 4.5 release on April 12th.

At the time of this posting, there are 104 active tickets slated for the 4.5 release. Now is a great time to get involved by testing the beta and assisting with the remaining tickets.

Updates

• @karmatosed wanted to bring up a couple of things re: core themes
  • Site logos… we need to decide when to get the current version into the .org repository.
  • @iamtakashi has a patch to add site logo support to Twenty Fifteen and doesn’t believe it belongs in Twenty Fourteen  (#35969, #35944).
  • @davidakennedy We will time the updating of core themes with the release.
• @azaozz or @iseulde updated on the editor work:
  • New features need testing.
  • Going to push fix for Paste as Text Modal Should be Dismiss-able (#28612), fix just became doable with change in TinyMCE.
  • Deciding no paste shortcuts @iseulde pointed out the problem is you would not be able to undo them like the other shortcuts.
• @jorbin posted about field guide posts for the release  in the slack channel. @obenland pointed out we also need a field guide post about custom/site logos.
• @obenland brought up some tickets about the site logo feature:
  • Should site logo should be called `logo` or `site-logo`: decided on `custom-logo` to match other core naming. (#35945).
  • Requesting UX feedback on Reconsider site logo control placement in customizer (#35942) and Site Icon: refine the new UI introduced in 4.5 (#35943).
