This is a big project, which has been completed.
This phase is to have the same functionality in Tiki7 than Tiki6 but with a cleaner code base and reduce Technical debt. And from there, we can easily improve things for Tiki8 and beyond. This is crucial as many of the future enhancements will depend on a better tracker code base. Ref: Tracker Issues 7.x and Tracker Roadmap.

As this is a big project, it will likely be spread out over Tiki7 and Tiki8, like workspaces was over Tiki4 and Tiki5.
This will be done along side Wiki Parser Revamp revamp, Spreadsheet enhancements and addition of TimeSheet feature, which will likely use stuff from all of this.

Long term
The tracker revamp will facilitate building/improving the following features/use cases in the future:
About upgrades
- This will be a serious revamp, focused on the future. Not everything will be backward-compatible. If you are using trackers extensively, your choices will be to stay on Tiki6 LTS (which will last for at least 18 months) or you can go along with Tiki7 and help add/fix/complete the features.
