+This file is intended to provide a rough roadmap of the development 
+towards the Fluxbox 1.0.0 release.
+
+The process will involve a number of development releases in the 0.9
+series until features and execution (i.e. bugs) stabilise.
+
+Some of the interesting new features beyond 0.1.14 that we'd like to work towards are:
+
+- Layer Support
+- New action system (key/mouse bindings)
+- Tabgroup rewrite (should also allow more commands to act on the whole group)
+- Tabs embedded in titlebar
+- Most recently used window cycling
+- Toolbar modes
+- Integration of remember patch (or at least the concept)
+- Smarter config menus (ability to modify numeric values)
+- fix Xinerama support again
+- XRandr support
+
+Some minor ones (mainly bugfixes or small things) that I feel like noting are
+(many of these based on feature requests or bug reports from sourceforge):
+
+- Key bindings for:
+  -> restart
+  -> specific tab numbers
+  -> tabgroup keybindings
+  -> menu navigation
+  -> moving windows to next workspace/tabgroup
+- fix up focus issues (click to focus sometimes acts like sloppy)
+- proper initialisation from hints (e.g. Eterm -D 2)
+- fix toggledecoration to not give tabs back etc
+- snap to windows
+- Pixmap buttons
+- Shaped menus/toolbar/slit
+- improved command line output for help option (plus include compile-time options 
+        etc in output for improved bug reporting)
+- layer configuration things for toolbar/slit/numlayers
+- fix outline window moving
+
+Some lower priority ones ("thoughts"/maybes):
+
+- transparency (major)
+- keybindings for directional focus moving:
+  -> nextWindowLeft/Right/Up/Down
+     - looks for the window left of the current one, and gives it focus
+- more powerful autogrouping matching
+- stop window movement by clicking on border (only on frame instead)
+- mouse button "keys"
+- ability to specify keybinding actions for titlebar buttons (i.e. configurable actions for titlebar buttons).
+
+Notes:
+ - (optional) Unique per-workspace backgrounds
+   => To be made into separate application, if time permits will try to 
+      get this done before 1.0.0rc1
+
+Known Bugs (to be looked at at some time):
+ - Focus acts sloppy on window close/warp, or when decoration-less window is "focused"
+
+Fixed known bugs:
+ - Doesn't redraw properly after unshade
+
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+So, what's the plan?
+
+Key:
+- => Planned (or not applicable)
+= => Started
++ => Almost done
+* => Done

+----------------------------------------------------------
+Release:      1.0.0rc1
+Approx Date:  ?
+
+ - Bug Fixes & tweaks. Nothing major.
+
+This release is aiming to be a very close approximation for 1.0.0.
+There is a fair amount of cooling time before the full release to allow 
+for an rc2 or more if necessary, but we'd really like to iron out all 
+those little bugs that are remaining around here.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------
+Release:      1.0.0
+Approx Date:  ?
+
+ - Obviously any remaining bug-fixes and small tweaks.
+ - Translations.
+ - Documentation.
+
+
+The dates for later releases of the development branch are not estimated
+because they are difficult to estimate. New features add new bugs. There
+are always little things being added. The developers are also constantly
+interrupted by "real life" events.
+
+However, we really do want to get 1.0.0 released. So don't despair. It's coming.
