FLEXIContent Updates

Hi,

I've noticed this FLEXIContent announcement  about J5:

1. A FLEXIContent 4.X series compatible with J3-J4-J5 without a compatibility plugin.
2. A wholly rewritten Flexicontent 5.X series with a new MVC system for J4-J5-J6

I'd like to understand more:

1. Why is the compatibility plugin required?
2. What does the compatibility plugin resolve? JQuery?

 Regarding the 5.X series rewrite:

• What are the main issues that need to be resolved in this rewrite?
• What's the expected timeframe for this extended development?
• How will this affect current users and their existing FLEXIContent implementations?

What migration path do you recommend for users currently on older versions? Should they wait for the 5.X series or upgrade to 4.X when it becomes available?Please share any insights.Thanks,Robert

hello
the compatibility plugin is a b/c joomla core plugin (less performance with deprecission ), next release will be ok with this plugin
remove jquery is an other history need to check all library ... not
for new mvc system its only for flexicontent core file no impact for update but we will remove j3 compatibility
For now we have 5 issues on next release and i works on more stable template solution :
- remove html5 file
- update all template with grid and flex css
i will need some testeur or some help if you can
