Features and bugfixes
Features and bugfixes
After Bolt 1.4, we'll focus on Bolt 2.0. The issues for 2.0 on our github issue tracker gives an overview of tasks planned.
- New interface for the backend (in Bootstrap 3)
- Automatic installing and updating of extensions, with a 'marketplace' to find them.
The most important planned features are:
- JSON-based API for retrieving and updating content in Bolt.
After 2.0, we'll be discussing what features will be the focal point of the ongoing development. There's an issue on our Github about this, here
Some features are requested often, but are not currently scheduled. This is because we either consider them "out of scope" or that we know it would take up too much resources, affecting the overall development of Bolt in a negative way. That does not mean that these issues will not be implemented, it only means that they're not currently scheduled. If you absolutely need any of these features for a project you're working on, feel free to get in touch at [email protected].
- Native support for Multi-lingual content in the frontend. See #234
- Hierarchical (tree) structure for content.

plugins/extensions,
and user levels will be enforced properly. - December 2012: Release version 0.9 beta. This version will allow for links/joins between records of different contenttypes (ie. if you have contenttypes with 'events' and 'artists', you can link the event to an artist, and directly use its data). It'll be possible to select more than one record, to do actions on them. User levels will be enforced properly.
- January 2013: Release of version 1.0. From this point on, we'll have a stable release.
- June 2013: Bolt 1.1 released.
