CubicWeb features

This page summarizes features found in the bare cubicweb framework and indicates how mature and documented they are.

code maturity (CM):
 
  • 0: experimental, not ready at all for production, may be killed
  • 1: draft / unsatisfying, API may change in a near future, and will certainly change in the long term
  • 2: good enough, API sounds good but will probably evolve a bit with more hindsight
  • 3: mature, backward incompatible changes unexpected (may still evolve though, of course)
documentation level (DL):
 
  • 0: no documentation
  • 1: poor documentation
  • 2: some valuable documentation but incomplete coverage
  • 3: good / complete documentation
