This page summarizes our current development priorities for REBOL 3.0.
To keep it simple, we only show projects for the immediate future. Longer term projects have been removed.
Unicode Alpha - Major bug fixes
27-Mar-2008 - Core 2.100.2 - Released to A3 testers.
- Fix any remaining major bugs in Unicode alpha release.
- Release the Unicode kernel to all alpha developers.
- Make a list of any remaining Unicode bugs or issues.
Test Suites - Bring online, expand
- Finalize organization and structure of test suites.
- Determine relationship with DevBase and best workflow method.
- Add automatic DevBase test invocation
- Start adding new tests every day.
Integrate Devices - Networking
- Add back existing devices, including networking, DNS, and other non-graphics devices to Unicode kernel.
- Add tests for them.
Integrate Graphics
- Add back graphics subsystems and dialecting methods into Unicode kernel.
- Add back event device
- Do not require Unicode for text display right now, as it will slow down release. Unicode text can be done in parallel with other developments.
- Add tests for it.
Return of VID3 Development
- Review VID3 project from top down...
- Review: High level design objectives
- Review: End-user usability
- Review: Code structure and modularity
