[Rails-devel] Next development steps for Rails 2.0

[Stefan F. <ste...@we...>]

To give the others an indication where to expect further changes in the 
code base in preparation of Rails 2.0 release:

Currently:
* Get the 1880 code running with 2.0 (with full undo functionality).
* Refactor everything around StartRound (StartPacket, StartItems etc.)
* Reenable special tile and token lays in the UI

Up-Next:
* Prepare a modular/factory based approach to create Round objects.

* Move from serialization to a xml representation for save files.

* Remove the current svg library (batik) and replace it by something 
less heavyweight, include some rewrite of the the Map drawing.

* Prepare a more structure approach of the UI classes, similar to what 
we have for the engine classes: Both a hierarchical tree structure of 
the components, an improved separation for MVC.

If anyone has further questions, what my plans are, please ask.

Questions:
* Could someone please supply me with some 1880 save files?

* Is anyone interested in providing svg files for the company tokens to 
add those to the Rails map?
