Iteration Plan for September & October 2019

[ntotten]

This plan captures our work in September & October. This is a 6-week iteration. We ship updates weekly, but features or changes may not be fully available until the end of the iteration.

Our focus this iteration is primarily around wrapping up several larger projects we have started over the past few months. We are also spending on some performance areas that we think will have a fairly large impact on the user experience.

Schedule

• September 3, 2019: Iteration begins
• October 11, 2019: Iteration ends

@ntotten are you guys planning on adding a soql language type for stand alone files?

[ntotten]

@ChuckJonas yup!

[ChuckJonas]

do you have a grammar yet? Wondering if comments & multiple queries per file will be supported

[RandallFlagg]

Regarding the diff tool: Are you going to also fix bug #1584 ?

[msolomon802]

Regarding #862 currently in the Org Browser "Standard Objects" are listed under the "Custom Objects" folder. Should these be separated or maybe the folder should be renamed to "Objects"?

do you have a grammar yet? Wondering if comments & multiple queries per file will be supported

Not yet. We will publish it soon like we did the Apex one. I think we support comments, not sure about multiple queries. //cc @lcampos

Yes, let me add it to the iteration plan since we are working on it.

What is the update on SOQL inside of Apex and Single file deploys using Tooling API ?

[lcampos]

Hi @sc5148, SOQL inside of Apex is one of the things we're working on, we'll be prioritizing our roadmap in the next weeks and will publish an updated one to reflect where/when this will be delivered. For single file deploys using Tooling API, that work is currently in progress and we'll start shipping some of those changes in the following weeks. cc @ntotten
