Hi Jan,

we currently assume that we will have a first querying capability available this fall. The implementation has progressed very well in the last few months and weeks, including special pages to access it, API modules, etc.

Indeed querying will be available later than originally anticipated since we had reprioritized it, and because of that we had much less people working on this functionality (for a while, it was only one person working on this), and other tasks were moved to higher prio, such as more data types, better history support, allowing arbitrary access to items in the clients, support for other sister projects, etc.

By the way, we mostly dropped the idea of phases to speak about development goals as it doesn't really fit the current development plan, but that's just a naming issue.

So expect some simple querying capability (give me all items with a specific value on this property) to be deployed within the next month or three, but don't be mad if we slip by a few weeks due to some unexpected deployment issue.

Cheers, Denny

Hi there,

how is the development of phase #3 (lists) going? Is it due to soon?

Sub-question: I guess sorting feature in lists will be implemented in default as list without sorting would be a bad idea?

Thx for answer.

Cheers, Kozuch
