Hi All,
Now we have 0.21 released I thought it was worthwhile looking at the path ahead, and since we have the possibility of some quite significant changes, maybe starting a plan of attack so that not too much effort is wasted.
The big things I see right now that have had some work are:
- change to DVCS and hosting, and possible changes to process that
forces/enables (to my mind the process issues are more important than the DVCS itself)
change to Glade 3 (entails GTK change)
support for GTK3 (needs above and might entail a further GTK
change)
- support for plugins in non-C, non-compiled languages (as full
plugins, and the VM/interpretor as a plugin itself so core doesn't need to be changed to add more languages)
session support (has been sitting in a branch for a while)
patches in the queue (some are getting a bit old)
bugfixes
call it 1.0
In general I'm fine with this list as goals (discussing details would be the wrong place here), but would call it 0.9x with this changes on next release as changes are to big to become a 1.0 directly (to keep understanding of a 1.0 which have been posted on this list bevor)
Cheers, Frank
