Thanks, geoanders, for indicating that there will be Drupal 11 compatibility for Content Export CSV. I would suggest, however, not creating a new major version release for this, given that there are no identified backwards compatibility changes required for Drupal 11 compatibility.
Instead, it would be better for the community if these changes were merged and provided within an 8.x-4.9 release. As has been discussed in detail in 🌱 Guidelines for semantic versioning and Drupal core support Active , creating a new major version simply to allow compatibility with a new version of Drupal core (such as updating only the info.yml core_version_requirement) creates a requirement for developers on any site using this module to do work to change the composer.json requirements. In contrast, a patch-level release should not require any work on the part of developers, since a Composer version constraint should allow automatic updating to a new release.
Since there are over 1,500 sites using that module, this choice has a real impact.
It is tempting to think that compatibility with a new major version of Drupal should be provided by a new major version of a contrib module, but that's not what Semver indicates (https://semver.org/):
MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
If there are future API changes planned for this module, I suggest separating that work from nominal Drupal 11 compatibility, providing a 8.x-4.9 release as soon as possible, and working on the 5.x branch as time permits.
Thanks for your consideration!
Hi there,
I’m running a site on Drupal 10 that uses content_export_csv and planning to upgrade to Drupal 11 soon. Could you please share any timeline you might have on the compatibility upgrade of the module? I am just trying to plan out when I will be able to upgrade my site to Drupal 11.
