Upcoming END OF LIFE announcement for WranglerView
===============================================================================
Beginning with the 6.8 release, WranglerView will be entering a "sunset"
phase. It will continue to ship until Qube v7.0.
WranglerView will not have any major new features or functionality added to
this or future versions, and any changes will be limited to bug fixes or
minor feature additions necessary to facilitate customer needs
until they can make the transition over to the new Qube UI.
From Qube 7.0 onwards, all major functionality encompassed in WranglerView is
anticipated to have been ported over to the framework that the current
ArtistView is built on. With some additional features added along the way,
this will be known as the new Qube UI.
There may be new minor features added to the administration and
wrangler-centric functionality of WranglerView as needed until such
time as the new Qube UI achieves parity with current
WranglerView functionality.
