With the release of Contao 4.4, there were obviously discussions about MetaModels and Contao 4. The plan is to develop MetaModels 3 using the features of Symfony and discard old “ballast”. But this means also a long development time.
There is agreement for this approach, but also the community asked for a faster solution to run MetaModels with Contao 4. The MM Team discussed this issue closely and tried to come up with a fast solution.
Therefore, we will develop a MetaModels 2.1 as an intermediate step which will work with Contao 4 (but not with Contao 3.5). The data base structure will be similar like MM 2.0. So, a migration from 2.0 to 2.1 is possible with little effort. The development of the Version 2.1 will also build the foundation for Version 3.0.
The work is already in progress. So far, there were over 240 hours contributed by the MM Team. We are on track to have the first (beta) version end of October/beginning of November 2017.
