1 | This file is intended to provide a rough roadmap of the development | This file is intended to provide a rough roadmap of the development. | |
2 | towards the Fluxbox 1.0.0 release. | ||
3 | |||
4 | The process will involve a number of development releases in the 0.9 | ||
5 | series until features and execution (i.e. bugs) stabilise. | ||
6 | |||
7 | Some of the interesting new features beyond 0.1.14 that we'd like to work towards are: | ||
8 | |||
9 | - Layer Support | ||
10 | - New action system (key/mouse bindings) | ||
11 | - Tabgroup rewrite (should also allow more commands to act on the whole group) | ||
12 | - Tabs embedded in titlebar | ||
13 | - Most recently used window cycling | ||
14 | - Toolbar modes | ||
15 | - Integration of remember patch (or at least the concept) | ||
16 | - Smarter config menus (ability to modify numeric values) | ||
17 | - fix Xinerama support again | ||
18 | - XRandr support | ||
19 | |||
20 | Some minor ones (mainly bugfixes or small things) that I feel like noting are | ||
21 | (many of these based on feature requests or bug reports from sourceforge): | ||
22 | |||
23 | - Key bindings for: | ||
24 | -> restart | ||
25 | -> specific tab numbers | ||
26 | -> tabgroup keybindings | ||
27 | -> menu navigation | ||
28 | -> moving windows to next workspace/tabgroup | ||
29 | - fix up focus issues (click to focus sometimes acts like sloppy) | ||
30 | - proper initialisation from hints (e.g. Eterm -D 2) | ||
31 | - fix toggledecoration to not give tabs back etc | ||
32 | - snap to windows | ||
33 | - Pixmap buttons | ||
34 | - Shaped menus/toolbar/slit | ||
35 | - improved command line output for help option (plus include compile-time options | ||
36 | etc in output for improved bug reporting) | ||
37 | - layer configuration things for toolbar/slit/numlayers | ||
38 | - fix outline window moving | ||
39 | |||
40 | Some lower priority ones ("thoughts"/maybes): | ||
41 | |||
42 | - transparency (major) | ||
43 | - keybindings for directional focus moving: | ||
44 | -> nextWindowLeft/Right/Up/Down | ||
45 | - looks for the window left of the current one, and gives it focus | ||
46 | - more powerful autogrouping matching | ||
47 | - stop window movement by clicking on border (only on frame instead) | ||
48 | - mouse button "keys" | ||
49 | - ability to specify keybinding actions for titlebar buttons (i.e. configurable actions for titlebar buttons). | ||
50 | |||
51 | Notes: | ||
52 | - (optional) Unique per-workspace backgrounds | ||
53 | => To be made into separate application, if time permits will try to | ||
54 | get this done before 1.0.0rc1 | ||
55 | |||
56 | Known Bugs (to be looked at at some time): | ||
57 | - Focus acts sloppy on window close/warp, or when decoration-less window is "focused" | ||
58 | |||
59 | Fixed known bugs: | ||
60 | - Doesn't redraw properly after unshade | ||
61 | |||

152 | Release: 0.9.? (remaining) | ||

154 | Major Features: | ||
155 | - Mouse actions as keys (so you can, e.g. Mod1 Button1 :ResizeWindow) (?) | ||
156 | - nls code - layers, remember, new stuff... (Both) | ||
157 | - Update Translations | ||
158 | - C | ||

171 | - ru_RU | ||
172 | - sv_SE | ||
173 | - tr_TR | ||
174 | - more??? | ||
175 | - Update Documentation | ||
176 | - man page | ||
177 | - web docs | ||
178 | - FAQ | ||
179 | Minor Features: | ||
180 | - Transparent titlebars + toolbar | ||
181 | Bugfixes: | ||
182 | - As many of those little niggly things as possible (some of which may be | ||
183 | non-trivial to fix). | ||
184 | |||
185 | Other: | ||
186 | - app (fbev?) for per workspace backgrounds, among other things | ||
187 | - should do some profiling and optimisation | ||
188 | |||
189 | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ||
190 | Release: 1.0.0rc1 | ||
191 | Approx Date: ? | ||
192 | |||
193 | - Bug Fixes & tweaks. Nothing major. | ||
194 | |||
195 | This release is aiming to be a very close approximation for 1.0.0. | ||
196 | There is a fair amount of cooling time before the full release to allow | ||
197 | for an rc2 or more if necessary, but we'd really like to iron out all | ||
198 | those little bugs that are remaining around here. | ||
199 | |||
200 | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ||
201 | Release: 1.0.0 | ||
202 | Approx Date: ? | ||
203 | |||
204 | - Obviously any remaining bug-fixes and small tweaks. | ||
205 | - Translations. | ||
206 | - Documentation. | ||
207 | |||
208 | |||
209 | The dates for later releases of the development branch are not estimated | ||
210 | because they are difficult to estimate. New features add new bugs. There | ||
211 | are always little things being added. The developers are also constantly | ||
212 | interrupted by "real life" events. | ||
213 | |||
214 | However, we really do want to get 1.0.0 released. So don't despair. It's coming. | ||
