Hey everyone,
here’s the next beta for Kirby 5:
https://github.com/getkirby/kirby/releases/tag/5.0.0-beta.5
Struggle Update:
The focus point for images cannot be removed once it is set and there’s a bigger underlying problem with two options for solutions:
a) Solve it in a clean way and refactor more of our old and ugly form code.
b) Solve it in a fast way and take care of the ugly form refactoring later.
We tried to go for a) but we are running into problems when trying to wrap it up. It’s always about breaking changes when we do refactoring. Do we introduce even more in v5? Do we stop here and keep them for v6? This entire process feels very sluggish and unsatisfactory and we keep worrying about the delays getting longer and longer and about your happiness-level. That’s why we sometimes simply end up in a dead end and need to rethink the approach again.
Option b) feels dirty, but more practical right now. We would basically add a bit of temporary code to solve the problem, move on with v5 and the old ugly form code and then start working on it again for v6 and remove the temporary solution in the future. It seems more achievable at the moment and it would definitely be faster.
We have also a reported issue that pages cannot be deleted under some weird circumstances in multi-language setups. We are not able to reproduce this properly, although we get a lot of great feedback in the issue. This makes it so hard to solve the problem at all.
Not being able to remove a focus point or potentially not being able to delete pages is both critical enough to be show stoppers 
If you’ve run into a similar issue, please let us know. We could really need more help with reproducing the page deletion bug.
We are so close. We are working a lot with v5 for so many weeks now and it feels really stable. That’s what makes the remaining issues even more frustrating. But we keep on moving forward
