Status of Orbeon?

[Mike Ahlers]

Hi,

What is the current status? I get the impression a new release of Orbeon is around the corner, and I know no fixed dates can be set as this is an open source project. But, what needs to be done? Bug fixes in the form builder? Or is there more? What is the roadmap?

Like many, we want to use Orbeon in a stable form, and some want to use the new features. For myself, I run in a few stoppers, which have work arounds. But to be honest, I want to get rid of the workarounds.

Currently, I am using 3.6.0 (not a nightly build, just the latest stable on download) and run into the following:

Only an internal event (dispatching event: xxforms-focus) is thrown when selecting an xforms:output in a repeater block, which I cannot capture. So, no DOMFocusIn or DOMActivate events for me. Some searching shows this is fixed:

Just someone very curious here,
Regards,
Mike

Mike,

Form Builder / Form Runner are not blockers for the next release. We  
will probably do a separate release later for Form Builder 1.0.

But we have a few blockers, which you can see here:

Other than that, that's right, a release is just around the corner,  
but it is a delicate line to walk for us between the release and our  
work for pressing customer.
