Plan for Group 8.x-1.6

Problem/Motivation

The last release of Group 1.5.0 was already a year ago, in the meantime many improvements and compatibility for Drupal 10 and PHP 8.x have been worked out. Here I wanted to summarize issues for a new release with version 1.6, which are important and relevant in my eyes.

In some issues tested patches for Group 1 exist, however the issue is marked as unresolved because some patches for Group 2 & 3 put in there, but they probably have not been tested yet. For the corresponding issues I have noted a tested and working version behind the issue ID.

Proposed resolution

Implement existing patches in a new stable release.

    @kristiaanvandeneynde After the successful release of 'Initiative for Group 1.x compatibility under Drupal 10', could you take a look at this plan before a new release is put out? Thanks.

    @zcht I'm not sure how much me taking a look would help, really. The only reason we got a new release with proper D10 support is because someone managed to convince their client to sponsor that. What limited time I have to work on Group is fully focused on v2/v3, so unless someone deems all of the issues in the IS important enough to want to sponsor a new version with those patches committed, I just don't see it happening.

    I do applaud the effort that has gone into this and perhaps some of these issues will be fixed in v2/3 as I slowly make my way through the issue queue. But backporting all of that work is unlikely to happen at this point. v1.6 is stable enough and still has security coverage, but for whatever bugs they encounter, people will have to rely on adding patches to their composer file.

    Stopping short of closing this as won't fix because someone might step in and work on this or sponsor some of my time to work on it.
