[1.4] Towards a 1.4 release: Status

[Andreas Hartmann <an...@apache.org>]

Hi Lenya devs,

here's a status update for 1.4.


Done - thanks to all who were involved
====

- observation support (ATM used for indexing and directory pruning)
- introduce UUIDs
- API enhancements for simplified usage (Area class, SiteStructure class)


Work in Progress
================

- move all unpublished code to src/impl or to unpublished modules
   to minimize the risk of breaking backwards compatibility
- move Kupu code to module
- move tests to modules
- add more test cases for core classes
- remove obsolete convenience methods from utility classes (SiteUtil etc.)
- new access control implementation which supports denial of permissions


ToDo
====

- integrate resource module with BXE and Kupu
- remove to-be-obsolete Resource class
- add documentation about the module concept
- add documentation for specific modules
- remove stray code from the core (or move it to modules)
- re-implement internal links (use UUIDs)


To be Decided
=============

- schema for internal links (currently discussed)


Feel free to add your comments.
