[tinyTiM-discuss] The battleplan aka roadmap

[Lars H. <he...@se...>]

Hi,

I like to propose the following roadmap for tinyTiM: I think I'll
have the next tinyTiM version ready in the next few days. I like to
propose to release that code as tinyTiM 2.0 alpha. And then fix bugs.
I think 2.0 is reasonable since it is a new code base. If we do not
encounter any bugs we can release 2.0 officially within the next
weeks. Note, that 2.0 is TMAPI 1.0 compatible but more or less TMDM
ready. Even if it would be possible to expose the TMDM features to the
users, I don't think we should do it now but wait for TMAPI 2.0.

I think releasing tinyTiM 2.0 *now* is reasonable since it should be
more standard compliant (i.e. merging, duplicate suppression) than the
current release and / or the CVS version.

Once the TMAPI project has released some TMAPI 2.0 interfaces, we
create a 3.0 branch, implement the TMAPI 2.0 interfaces and we expose
the TMDM features to the user (these are hidden if the user uses TMAPI
1.0).

I hope that TMAPI 2.0 will ease the development of tinyTiM reasonably
since we can remove some of the internal interfaces and remove some
casts / hacks here and there etc.

Best regards,
Lars
