Roadmap to version 4.3

Agenda

What are the show-stoppers for an alpha1 release?

--Lem9 16:30, 19 September 2014 (CEST)

Meeting

• Two issues are reported:
  • Regression: the new usage of PMA_String (mbstring if present) produces a slowdown
    • Confirmed for SQL import
    • To be confirmed as an overall issue
  • Older problem: the poor performance on servers with thousands of databases, due to querying information_schema
    • We want to fix this for 4.3
• See item 4 of this meeting for a solution

GSoC 2015

Agenda

Taking into consideration our new full-time developer, should we participate to GSoC in 2015? What would be the goals?

--Lem9 14:00, 25 September 2014 (CEST)

Meeting

• We should aim to participate to GSoC 2015, to attract new developers
• At least Isaac, Madhura, Michal and Marc agree to mentor
• Smita might want to participate again as a student
• About ideas, there could be refactoring, more unit testing
  • Not sure about new features as our full-time developer is working on them
• So, pages for GSoC 2015 will be created on the wiki, and would-be mentors are welcome to add ideas

Meeting

• In general, priority should go to bug fixing
