Hello All,
We've had a lot of people asking for us to pre-announce upcoming features. Here's what we're working on for the next few versions:
Note: We'll also be doing maintenance releases between planned releases where we release bug fixes, minor changes, and features that were added through consulting or custom programming. People sometimes ask why a previously unrequested feature was added before a planned one, it's usually because a customer paid for it through a consulting project and wanted us to add it to the codebase for the benefit of the community. Since the work has already been done it's free and easy for us to do these releases and it benefits everyone.
Here's what we have planned:Improved Multi-lingual Support - Automatic and improved translation libraries for CMS, Admin Menus, and Plugins along with a simple method for plugin developers to make their plugins multi-lingual.
Shared Asset Library - A way to "share" uploads between records so you don't need to upload the same file over and over again when multiple records require it.
Ratings Plugin - Works with website membership to allow users to select a rating (0 - 5 stars) and display that rating on any type of page, record, or item.
User Requests - Beyond the previously listed items we plan to address as many user requests as possible in the next few releases. We won't be able to get them all, but we'll tackle as many as we can. We've complied a list of these below:
User Feature Requests:Field Editor: Support color picker field
