Preparing the release of version 5.0 about contao-haste HOT 8 CLOSED

We did but there are mainly three areas for which haste will remain the go-to helper:

• n:m relations
• form handling with Contao widgets
• formatting based on DCA settings

All of which will probably become irrelevant at some point too if the Core itself can provide alternatives.
And splitting those 3 areas in separate bundles was just not worth the hassle for us.

By the way: when I say "we" I'm talking about @qzminski. I just did concept stuff here :P

Many thanks for this important Info!
Do you have an expected date, when version 5 will be released as stable version?

from contao-haste.

For us @terminal42, haste is a dependency of quite a few extensions so in order to make these extensions compatible with Contao 5, we'll have to wait for haste 5.0. Which means, we would like to release haste 5.0 rather soonish. However, we also want to make sure, we get things right for haste 5.0 and ensure all the other developers have enough time to work on their extensions too so we can adjust things preferably before the release of 5.0 stable in case anything goes wrong.

So we kind of have contradictory goals here. On one hand, the faster, the better. On the other hand, we need to allow other developers to test their extensions.

We're currently aiming at probably around the end of November for a stable release. Which also means that no other extension that requires haste is going to be compatible with Contao 5.0 any earlier.

Just require "codefog/contao-haste": "^5@dev". Anyone installing your extension will then either have to reduce the minimum-stability to dev - or also require "codefog/contao-haste": "^5@dev" in their project.

👏 Thanks for the hard work! The diff just shows a tad bit how much changes were made.

IMHO it's a very good move to reduce the extension to a smaller feature set again. Did you consider going a step further and splitting each component its own bundle (e.g. monorepo + split)? I'm not too involved into the code base but it always appeared to me that the features were quite independent. I feel it's likely more helpers will be included in the future and others replaced. This way composer could handle this and developers could be more expressive in what they actually require.

Adjusting ETA to end of October unless there are any objections from the community.
