📃 Iteration 48 roadmap

[AnnaTomanek]

This post outlines our targets for the upcoming iteration. The goal is to provide a summary of where we are going.

New features / enhancements

• Support for advanced lists (document lists) - this will span across a few iterations
• Redesign and introduce a new reconversion system - this will span across a few iterations
• Introduce the Command#affectsData property to indicate whether a given command should stay enabled in editor modes with restricted write permissions. This solves the frequently reported problems of the availability of some editor features such as export to PDF or Word, select all or find in such editor modes as read-only, comments-only or restricted editing - merged 🎉
• Real-time collaboration support in revision history - this will span across a few iterations
• Mentions: Ability to customize the max number of items in the list after typing the trigger character - merged 🎉
• New collaboration features samples:
  • For the React integration that will implement the context feature as well as the watchdog - merged 🎉
  • For comments outside the editor with offline comments - merged 🎉
• Improved the comment and export to Word feature icons - merged 🎉
• Make three Enter clicks necessary at the end of a code block to escape it - merged 🎉  Thanks @marcellofuschi!

Bug fixes

• Link, mention, inline image, comment marker can't be selected by mouse drag if the link is at the edge of the block - merged 🎉
• Table balloon rendered in the wrong place after unlinking text in table - merged 🎉
• The nested widget selection handle is visible while the outer table cells are selected - merged 🎉
• The HTML embed UI does not correctly reflect the read-only state - merged 🎉

Finally, there are some more bug fixes and minor improvements planned for the 48th iteration. See the list of issues assigned to the current iteration for more details.

The code freeze is planned for October 20, 2021, followed by releasing npm packages on October 26th, 2021.

Please keep in mind that these plans are subject to change and even though we put all our energy to deliver all the items mentioned above, the iteration plan may change at any point.
