QGIS 3.0 Soft Feature Freeze
Tim Sutton Sun 26 Nov 2017 10:20PMPublicSeen by 29Please refer to the previous discussion on the developer list for more context on this discussion. This thread is to determine when the feature freeze for 3.0 will take effect. The following items are currently listed as exempt from the freeze:
- Datum transform handling (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5535)
- SAGA Support (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5155)
- GRASS Support (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5426)
- Metadata write support to file system (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5379)
- UI Widgets for drag forms (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5467)
- Composer refactor ( https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5486 to drop bindings and new PR to come for composer refactor).
- New QGIS Welcome page (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/102)
According to our proposal the freeze status will be voted on a fortnightly basis.
The soft freeze should be continued for another two weeks.

Please vote AGREE if you agree to continue the soft freeze for another two weeks and DISAGREE if you desire the soft freeze to be terminated and no new features admitted into the 3.0 code base.
For some context, here are the latest updates from Nyall:
Here's the updates to the work granted soft freeze exemptions, which
occurred over the last 2 weeks (*just to my knowledge, not
authoritative!)
- Processing SAGA provider: merged!
- Processing GRASS provider: merged!
- Datum transform refactoring: PR for the core changes is open, but needs in depth review by at least 2 core developers. GUI component is being worked on by Denis, but is blocked by the core PR.
- Layouts: still WIP - all existing item types have now been ported (but not merged to master yet), so I've just got a few remaining functions to port (exporting, saving, templates)
- Metadata store: PR has been reviewed, waiting on required changes to be made
- Forms & fields gui rework: merged!
So we're a lot closer than two 3 weeks ago :)

Better be sage and include everything we need for 3.0 than be sorry and have to change something again and again and again ..

Not an easy one. Of course I'd like to see all the good features landing in QGIS 3. But I also think we need to make users confident about our ability to respect a delivery schedule

Hi Stéphane - it it isn't listed there please add it as a new vote on https://www.loomio.org/d/38Aiya0q/3-0-soft-freeze-exemptions
Shall we continue the soft freeze for two more weeks?

Please see https://www.loomio.org/d/38Aiya0q/3-0-soft-freeze-exemptions for any other incoming exception requests. I can report that the metadata write support will be done by the end of the next freeze cycle if it is approved.
