2.0.0-beta3 release?

Created on 28 October 2024, 5 months ago

Problem/Motivation

There's been a few issues that need review piling up and potentially more changes coming soon down the pipe. Our own implementation of Funnelback is heavily patched in a way that I consider unsustainable in the long run, if we wanted to add new features or fix new bugs, which we do.

I'd like to propose that we put out a 2.0.0-beta3 release containing new features before we put out any new major versions or RCs. I'm happy to handle this process but only with the blessing of the other maintainers.

There's a few blanks in this issue description but I'll keep filling them in as I go.

Proposed resolution

Some good candidates for a possible 2.0.0-beta3 include, in terms of maintenance, bug fixing and developer quality of life:

Drupal 11 compatibility (already in latest dev) 📌 Automated Drupal 11 compatibility fixes for funnelback Needs review
Float precision loss error (already in latest dev) 🐛 Float precision loss error Fixed
Use drupal.org CI/CD pipeline for testing 📌 Set up CI/CD pipeline Needs review
Resolve inconsistency between general_settings.results and general_settings.pagesize (still need to finish this one) 🐛 Inconsistency between general_settings.results and general_settings.pagesize Needs work
Remove dependency on Drupal core search ✨ Refactor out dependency on Drupal core Search Needs review

There are also candidates for features that SLNSW have been using in PROD since we patched Funnelback. These might not be ideal to merge into a beta3 until we've developed tests for them.

Make the search block cacheable 🐛 Make the search block cacheable Needs review
Filter out duplicate autocomplete results ✨ Filter duplicates out of autocomplete results Needs review

Finally, I'd like to get Funnelback 16 support ✨ Funnelback 16 support Active into a future release.

Remaining tasks

Evaluate candidates, reviewing code and merging into 2.x when ready
Resolve code conflicts
Implement tests where applicable
Write release notes and prep release

Go for it
I favor a release early/release often workflow and often do releases for each commit

Thanks Lee! Given you prefer frequent releases, I might look at doing a 2.0.0-beta3 for the issues that are already committed to 2.x, and do additional ones for individual features as you suggested. The CI/CD one would be a good one to get in so we can start testing all changes yet to come.

I mucked up my own contrib on 3441681, so I'll make sure to do future merges through d.o so I don't lose anyone else's.
