We want to update the Ember version used in Discourse. Right now, we’re on 3.15, and we’d like to get to 4.1 We’ve set a goal to finish this work by the end of this year. Please note that this topic is a roadmap, and all the plans and estimates are tentative. This topic is not intended to house an…

@Johani perhaps not something blocking Ember 4 directly, but mixins might be worth considering on the roadmap as well: In addition, some new framework classes, such as Glimmer components, do not support Ember mixins at all. In the future, mixins will be removed from the framework, and will not be …

Tentatively hoping to get to it in the next 3-6 months, but that’s not set in stone. Right now the primary focus for our “modernising JS” team is getting Discourse onto Ember 4.x+ (3.28 is now EOL).

We’re investigating undergoing a significant retheme of Discourse (simplifications, make it more “social media like”, less developer focused, use posts with comments instead of threads). Given the amount of …

Hi Simon, it’s difficult to give a definitive answer here given the uncertainty on the timeline. At CDCK we are still developing new themes for customers against the existing version of core. Any big changes (e.g. a rewrite of the topic list) will be opt-in initially, so you’ll have time to adapt t…

Thanks @david , that is helpful. Cheers, Simon

How are we going to deal with model modification given Octanes Glimmer and “data-down, actions up” approach? We have a challenge with Plugin outlets I observe, where previously we had 2-way binding but if we attach a Glimmer Component to an outlet, we no longer have that option. 2-way binding via …

The two-way binding change refers to re-assigning arguments, but you can still mutate them. For example, this is not allowed in Glimmer components: this.args.topic = blah But this kind of thing: this.args.topic.title = "blah" is still possible. In fact, I don’t think re-assigning arguments is …
