We could replace at least 2 features/dashicons with screenshots: Twenty Seventeen companion stylesheet and the List-Unsubscribe in header if someone can provide the screenshot for the List-Unsuscribe at least 800px x 500px. Thanks :D

I would say "BuddyPress has many new improvements that you will enjoy".

@slaFFik New patch includes the change per your comment as well as the appropriate link to the BP Codex article about requiring PHP 5.3 as of BP 2.8

#8 follow-up: @r-a-y

Thanks for building the Welcome Screen as always, mercime!

As for the headlining feature - "Modernize codebase for BP REST API". Since the BP REST API is in development, I don't think we should reference "BP REST API" in the main header. I don't know what else to call the header though without seeming develop-y.

For other features, I think the profile fields display before user activation on the "Users > Manage Signups" admin page is a decent enough feature to highlight. See #7261.

Also, I'm not sure what the "Provide global fields across all profiles" feature is. Do you have a link to the ticket where this was implemented?

I think we could trim down on a few of the items as well. The PHPMailer and bp_activity_do_heartbeat() ones are not that big to warrant featuring, but that's just my opinion.

#9 follow-up: @hnla

Modernising The Codebase ( PHP version requirement 5.3 )
In an ongoing process of Scheduled migration of legacy code to modern standards and techniques, and one of the steps required for the current BP REST API project and for new features moving forward, BuddyPress 2.8 will require at least PHP 5.3, this update to php requirements will allow us to build better stronger more secure code and greatly benefit developers and users now and in the future.

or something like that?

#10 @hnla

Think you should move the accessibility up to the main section:

Accessibility enhancements
Further improvements for templates to aid in accessibity requirements...

Thanks for your feedback as always @r-a-y :D

As for the headlining feature - "Modernize codebase for BP REST API". Since the BP REST API is in development, I don't think we should reference "BP REST API" in the main header; it's fine to mention it in the supporting paragraph though. I don't know what else to call the header without seeming develop-y.

I'm afraid I had my marketing hat on with the teaser for the BP REST API as one reason for PHP 5.3 on the road to modernizing the codebase as the headline ;)

Perhaps something like "Requiring PHP 5.3 to Modernize Codebase" instead?

For other features, I think the profile fields display before user activation on the "Users > Manage Signups" admin page is a decent enough feature to highlight. See #7261.

+100

Also, I'm not sure what the "Provide global fields across all profiles" feature is. Do you have a link to the ticket where this was implemented?

Hmm, can't find it at this moment, what the ... :( Geez.
Will delete this.

The PHPMailer was in the Beta 1 release post and can delete the heartbeat.

Re Accessibility improvements: Thank you. But honestly, it should stay where it is right now. I wasn't able to do enough this cycle due to unforseen circumstances...

#13 @mercime

So on the table:

  • Redo the headline feature
  • Add "Users > Manage Signups" to features
  • Remove PHPMailer from feature
  • Remove Heartbeat from feature
  • Remove "Provide global fields across all profiles" from feature.

In this case some other titles should be updated as well. Also, a and the are often omitted in news titles etc for various reasons (catchy, shorter etc). So what about sticking to this?
