Overview

Vortex 2.0 will be a major refactor of the distribution, customisation and composability.

The main goal is to make the initial setup and post-setup support of the consumer site as easy as possible with a minimal manual update efforts. Another goal is to add more features and integrations before moving to 3.x.

The road to 2.0:

1. 🟡 🛠 composer require drevops/vortex-tooling
   The scripts will be published as a drevops/vortex-tooling package. This will allow to manage and update the custom scripts using a standard composer update approach.
   The customisations of those scripts within a consumer project will still be possible by providing the same script name in the scripts directory: the original script will look in that directory and, if it finds the script with the identical name, it will use that script.
   But in majority cases, pre- and post- event scripts will be supported.
   Also, switch vortex scripts to PHP script to make it easier to support Vortex.

   • Move scripts to drevops/vortex-tooling package. #1192
   • Add support for pre- and post- hooks in scripts  #1198
   • Use SemVer with CalVer for Vortex development #2104

2. 🟢 SemVer for Vortex developement.
   This will make it possible to both a) support multiple major version branches and b) version drevops/vortex-tooling package

   • Use SemVer with CalVer for Vortex development #2104

3. ⚪️ 💻 DDEV and Lando for local development

   • Add integration with DDEV #949
   • Add integration with Lando #815

4. ⚪️ 🔄 More flexible CI
   Consumer sites should be able to run operational tasks from CI UI. Also, some of the steps/jobs can be separated into own workflows.

   • Split CircleCI config into multiple files #1571
   • Split CI workflow into test and deploy to allow manual deployments from UI #1904
   • Split Linting into own job in GHA and CircleCI #2154
   • Allow to release from GHA UI using GitFlow #1891

5. ⚪️ 🔬 Environment detector
   Move environments identification to use https://github.com/drevops/environment-detector

   • [DRUPAL] Move env detection to use Environment Detector #2153

6. ⚪️ 🛠 More tools

   • Add integration with Diffy for Visual Regression #131
   • Add support for accessibility testing #283
   • Add support for DTT #1563
   • Add support for FunctionalJavaScript  #532

7. ⚪️ 🤖 AI

   • Add skills to AI instructions #2142

8. ⚪️ 🪄 Better development experience

   • Reconcile Ahoy commands with other tooling #2174
   • Add support for Task #954

9. ⚪️ 🎛️ Installer -> vortex-cli
   Installer will become vortex-cli where install will be one of the commands. update will be another one. This will provide a pathway to add more commands in the future.

Prioritisation takes place on 2.x project board

What will happen to 1.x version

The develop becomes main for 1.x development until 2.0 is ready. Then, main will host 2.x versions and 1.x versions will move to 1.x branch for LTS support (there will be 6 more minor versions until June 2026).
