Sorry to partly highjack the thread, but will the next release also include support for Archtype? I know Archetype isn't being developed further but it would be good for existing sites.

I did check the documentation but couldn't see it.

Hi Nik,

I'm not going to support Archetype. I had plans to include it and did some investigation for this release : https://github.com/dawoe/umbraco-nexu/issues/11

The problem is that Archetype doesn't store any information of the datatypes used in the property value like Leblender, nested content, etc...do.

So for supporting archetype would mean a breaking change in the framework. And I don't want to introduce breaking changes for a package that is not being actively developed. https://github.com/kgiszewski/Archetype/issues/439

Good news is that you can write your own parsers. So maybe that could be an option for your archetype properties.

Hi Nik,

I've built out an Archetype parser for nexu, but there are a couple issues that I still need to be iron out before I can submit a pull request. Opened a new thread for it here.
