+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
+
+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):
+
+- (optional) Unique per-workspace backgrounds
+- 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"
+
+Known Bugs (to be looked at at some time):
