Cphalcon: [NFR] Voting for your favorite NFR

[niden]

There are a lot of great ideas regarding the framework and additional functionality to help developers. Sadly we cannot do everything in one go, so we have been concentrating in bugs mostly and neglecting NFRs. As such, there have been pages and pages of issues as NFRs that never got any attention.

In an effort to introduce functionality that the community wants mostly, please read the list below (link to the original issue for reference) and vote in the comments by using the number next to each line below. At the end we will gather the top 5-10 (depending on time constraints) and concentrate on those NFRs.

This issue will be kept open to track the list of NFRs so that we can address them all if possible. If a NFR does not get any support, it does not mean that we will ignore it.

Thank you

UPDATE: Voting issue is here: #14608

@Jeckerson Yes it is a big list. However we will keep this issue open so as to get as many people to have a look and decide on what is more important to be addressed. Take your time and give us input whenever you can.

[StudioMaX]

@niden maybe you can choose by the most commented/most voted issues?

Well overall i don't want to vote on anything, but overall i think any improvements made to DI and PHQL/ORM will be great and we should focus on those.

[quasipickle]

• 2 (use REQUEST_URI by default)
• 4 (Combine assets)
• 11 (Argon2)
• 24 (Get Best Language )
• 34 (Many-to-Many)
• 38 (BuilderInterface Definition)
• 53 (Validation messages)
• 59 (Embedding blocks)
• 60 (Output filters)

In general I think it would be a good practice to fix any low hanging fruit (bolded) before adding new stuff

[BasSteenbeeke]

• 18 - Forms: Add proper support to \Phalcon\Form for Radio button #13461

I just want to say, that all of this NFRs look epic, good job phalcon community and I hope everyone of us will have something from this list. I wish GitHub had a visual poll, so we could do real votes and then see nice graph results :-) Its a bit hard to count all this numbers in the post when we have such a big community ^_^ Anyway, keep up great work everyone!
