Road to GeoExt 2.1.0 final

[chrismayer]

This issue is a kind of roadmap towards the final release of GeoExt 2.1.0, which is currently in an alpha-state.

TODOs:

• Finalize and merge relevant open pull requests:
  • Introduce ExtJS 5 example app #352
  • Add outputFormat as a none-custom param of MapfishPrintProvider #349
  • Dispose layer tree node event listeners. #357
• Adapt the README file according to the changed setup (Adapt README for Version 2.1.x #361)
• Publish a first beta version
• Fix upcoming issues (optionally)
• Release final 2.1.0 version
• Adapt the website (gh-pages)

[chrismayer]

I opened this to bring the release of GeoExt 2.1.0 up again. This is also meant as discussion platform.

If I missed some TODOs please extend the list above.

Adapt the README file according to the changed setup

What do you mean by that?

Does anyone have time to review the PRs? I can possibly do #352 if you think it is ready (but @bentrm wanted to add sth. IMO) but I won't have time for much more.

The website stuff is very important, I'll open a separate ticket.

Adapt the README file according to the changed setup

What do you mean by that?

I think there should be done some adaptions, mainly in the sections "What is GeoExt" and "Ok, I want to use GeoExt now..." because there are hints to ExtJS 4.2. This should be extended with the similar ExtJS 5 informations. I can do that.

I can take care of #355, maybe @weskamm can have a look at #349? Anyone there to take care of #357?

[marcjansen]

I just gave #357 a review. It is not ready to be merged yet.

[chrismayer]

I gave #355 a review. There are also still things to do before it can be merged. Since it is a more or less bigger thing a second review would be cool before final merge.

[chrismayer]

#355 is postponed to a follow up release since it is to much work to get it done until we want to release 2.1.0.
See discussion on the dev-list: http://www.geoext.org/pipermail/dev/2015-August/001295.html

[chrismayer]

Since #357 is the only open PR (and seems to be closed soon), I try to propose a timeline for the 2.1.0 release process:

• Provide a beta version until 2015-09-04
• Wait for feedback for one week
• Optional roundtrip for bugfixes / adaptions according to feedback (1 week)
• Release a final version and adapt depending resources (gh-pages, etc.) until the end of September

Any comments?

[marcjansen]

That sounds great! 👍

Ping @chrismayer

[chrismayer]

Okay, I did the release for GeoExt 2.1.0, which is available here: https://github.com/geoext/geoext2/releases/tag/v2.1.0

I also updated the gh-pages branch with the current docs and examples as well as some adaptions to the index file of http://geoext.github.io/geoext2/. Feel free to have a look.

[chrismayer]

Just re-opened #359 since the online examples do not work properly when opened with HTTPS.

[marcjansen]

Aaaaargh! That was stupid, that we only did half the work in #359. Apologies!

Please ping us if you need help with fixing it. Very nice work with the release so far!

[chrismayer]

With c8e1d7f which has been pushed to the gh-pages branch by me the online examples should be fine again. If you find any problems please report in #359.

[weskamm]

Thanks @chrismayer for all your efforts! 👍

[chrismayer]

Since #359 is closed now, I suggest to close this as well and announce version 2.1.0 on the mailing lists.

[marcjansen]

Go for it! Thanks again!
