Getting ready for Mautic 4 - all details & timelines!

Hello folks,

An update for those of you keenly awaiting a release today … I’m sorry to disappoint you but we still have some outstanding issues which need to be addressed before we can make the release.

Unfortunately we simply do not have enough developers and testers picking up these issues which means that we are not able to make the progress we need in order to make the release.

For reference, here are the issues:

  1. Fix installer exception handling - :arrow_right: PR needs testing Fix Installer Exception Handling - TPROD-194 by mabumusa1 · Pull Request #9934 · mautic/mautic · GitHub
  2. Fixes for dynamic content in the GrapesJS builder and refactoring of the codebase Refactor and small optimization for dynamic content html (part 2/2) by adiux · Pull Request #10114 · mautic/mautic · GitHub (some outstanding issues to be resolved early next week unless other Javascript developer/s are able to help!)
  3. Add button block for landing pages in the GrapesJS builder: :arrow_right: PR to test: Button block to the landing page added by disha-pishavadia24 · Pull Request #7 · mautic/grapesjs-preset-mautic · GitHub (needs to be reviewed / tested)

    3. Fix issue with pushing translations to Transifex: Error thrown when pushing translations to Transifex · Issue #10230 · mautic/mautic · GitHub :white_check_mark: Needs to be tested to confirm it was a user error :woman_facepalming:
    2. :white_check_mark: Fix issue with API tests failing: Error in API Library tests relating to GrapesJS builder · Issue #10231 · mautic/mautic · GitHub :arrow_right: PR needs automated test coverage to be increased before it can be merged: Fix yes/no button for emails by kuzmany · Pull Request #10023 · mautic/mautic · GitHub
    If you or your organisation have any capacity to help us with development or testing, please join #mautic-4 on Slack (Mautic Community On Slack for an invite) and make yourself known.

When we have a clearer idea of timelines, we will make an updated release date known.

We do really appreciate the frustration of having the dates keep getting pushed back, but we do not want to make a release which we know introduces bugs that would cause you problems.
