Re: Dev news
BTW, which features of list processing would be useful? Currently, txp 4.8.8 can
- sort a list, in ascending/descending/random order;
- filter/alter it via
trimandreplaceattributes; - remove duplicates via valueless
replace; - extract some of list items, via
limit/offsetattributes; - loop-parse list items via
breakform.
What else?

Still? AFAIK, custom fields in 4.8.7 have no ‘list’ feature, and in 4.8.8 you can use it with any tag, including <txp:custom_field />. As for the future cf branch, I guess cf will have their own attributes that will take priority over the global ones.
I’m still unsure how to handle sort attribute: should the default be case-insensitive, like in MySQL? How to trigger the case-sensitive mode then? What about the ‘natural’ mode, where, say, img9.png precedes img10.png? Should it be something like sort="natcase asc"? Ideas welcome.

Maybe I’m missunderstanding what you mean with. list. In the article docs:
custom_nwhere n is the number of your custom field…
also
<txp:article colour="red" />

I have certainly been not clear enough. Nothing changes for <txp:article /> and other ‘listing’ tags that handle these (sort etc) attributes themselves. It’s just about the ability to process the non-listing tags output as lists, like some plugins do.
For example, order keywords alphabetically:
<txp:keywords breakby="," break=", " sort />Or display two random article images:
<txp:images id='<txp:custom_field name="article_image" breakby="," sort="rand" limit="2" />' />Note that the latter can already be achieved in 4.8.7 in another way:
<txp:images id='<txp:custom_field name="article_image" />' sort="rand()" limit="2" />Offline

Re: Dev news
The behaviour of the global escape attribute has been slightly changed when applied to lists. For example,
<txp:article_custom break=" and " escape="upper"><txp:title /></txp:article_custom>in 4.8.7 would output
TITLE ONE AND TITLE TWO AND ...and in 4.8.8 it will be
TITLE ONE and TITLE TWO and ...Any objections to this?

Re: Dev news
The 4.8.8 behaviour seems more logical to me. The escape is being applied to the content, the break is added verbatim. I like it.

Re: Dev news
Thanks lot Oleg!
I changed a very complex SQL query with this instead:
<txp:article_custom section='<txp:section />' break="" wraptag="ul" break="li" trim='/(.*)(@\s?)(\d+\))?/' sort="Title asc"><txp:title /></txp:article_custom>Depending on my article titles in this form:
Title @numberThe expected result is an unordered list of ascendant numbers 🤪

That seems more sensible, I think. I never used that transform though :).

Re: Dev news
@etc
From your example:
<txp:variable name="fruits" value="apple,banana,cranberry" />
<txp:variable name="fruits" breakby="," break="," sort="rand" />Is there a way to remove duplicate data in order to keep only one?
<txp:variable name="fruits" value="apple,banana,cranberry,apple" />
<txp:variable name="fruits" breakby="," break="," sort="rand" />Patrick.
