Obsidian Block Conversion

Obsidian Conversion is Underway

We have a large mountain to climb with this conversion but we've left base camp. We started slowly to test a few techniques for swapping out the old block instances with the new Obsidian block type, and with each release we refined the technique to make this as seemless as possible.

We have a strategy of performing one of:

  • "chop" - The old blocktype and instances are completely removed and replaced with the Obsidian block type.
  • "swap" - All old block instances are swapped out with the new Obsidian block type, but the old block type remains -- just in case. However a swapped block will still need to be chopped again in a future release.

The list below shows which are the blocks we've converted from the old technology (webforms) to the new Obsidian framework. Unless noted with a "swap" symbol (), the block has been chopped.
