Milestone: 5.0
Due in 13 months (10/01/11)
Plone 5 is a major release that focuses on a new model for content authoring, better theming experience, and an improved type definition system.
Although the Improvement Proposal process for Plone 5 hasn't started yet, a lot of the components that are slated for inclusion are available for experimental use in Plone 4. See Chameleon (faster template language), xdv (theming support), Dexterity (new type system) and Deco (content authoring and layout).
The date for Plone 5 is still very tentative, so don't plan anything around it just yet.
-
This milestone is used to track bugs and other issues related to the 3.3.x series, and the progress bar has nothing to do with when the next 3.3.x release will ship.
-
This milestone is used to track bugs and other issues related to the 4.x series, and the progress bar has nothing to do with when the next 4.x release will ship.
-
Tickets assigned to the 'Future' milestone aren't targeted for inclusion in any specific release yet.
For example feature requests that have no designated champion yet or are still under discussion are often in this milestone.
-
Milestone for ongoing improvements that aren't tied to a specific release. Documentation tasks are a good example of this.
