[Repast-developer] 2.0 ideas

[Nick C. <nic...@ve...>]

Hi,

I figure a major version release gives us the opportunity to break some
legacy code (only a little though) in order to fix somethings that are
broken. So, here's my list of things I'd like to see for 2.0 and beyond.
1. Incorporate Mike's new scheduling code. This is the whole point of
the 2.0 release after all. I'll finally get around to finishing the
testing of this next week.

2. Improve the display of network graphs. The major thing here is not to
shrink them to the screen, but provide a larger viewable area that can
be scrolled.

3. Fix the network library, in particular remove the getNode() method
from the Node interface. It is there only to ensure that gui wrapped
nodes work with the rest of the network library. Node visualization
doesn't rely on wrappers anymore so I want to clean this up as it is a
major source of really confusing bugs.

4. Serialization of models so they can be stopped and then pick up where
they leave off.

So that's it from me. Item 3 will certainly break (but not too much)
existing code and 4 is probably something for post-2.0, although I
really don't know how much work it would be.

Comments?

Nick
