The WP Guy: Dev Chat notes for March 9

March 9, 2016

Schedule Notes, Status Updates, Road to Beta 3 — Triage Edition

As noted on the schedule, Beta 3 is due today!
@mike would like to see this report down to 50 before Beta 3 goes out. We’re at 66 at the time of the meeting, we were at 100 before the weekend.

Image Improvements: @joemcgill
- We landed r36891 which improves the optimizations we’ve added for resizing images using Imagick. Blog post for make/core will go out soon that will outline the details.
- Only a few media related tickets left in the milestone. We’ll fix what is left or punt after our dev chat on Friday.
Customizer: @westonruter, @celloexpressions
- Most of the remaining Customize component issues are regarding Custom Logo. The ones that aren’t include fixes to the expansion and focusing of panels, which @kienstra are @delawski working on…
- Selective Refresh needs QUnit tests for the Customizer preview.
- Requested feedback on requiring theme support for widgets to employ selective refresh: #35855.
Theme Logo Support: @obenland
- Finishing touches. @jorbin got tests in, the site icon control is now a little more concise, @westonruter and @obenland finishing up the header text toggle for when a theme doesn’t support custom headers.
- Reconsider site logo control placement in customizer (#35942) ready to go
Editor: @azaozz, @iseulde
- Nothing new, test please!

Bug fixing continued in core, led by @chriscct7, and reached below the 50 ticket goal for Beta 3! Check the full logs on #slack-core.
