Development Roadmap

This document aims to descibe the current status (as of 2003/3/14) of the OpenSOAP project and outline the future development goals.
  1. Currently each month's release is a snapshot of the development of Version 1.0 and as yet the official Version 1.0 has not been released.
  2. The release of Version 1.0 will support all the goals of the initial project. Projected release date is set for July 2003, and function testing is being carried out to meet this schedule.
  3. New features will not be implemented in Version 1.0. These will be implemented in Version 1.1.
  4. On the official release of Version 1.0, development of 1.1 will begin.
  5. Regarding the implementation of new features, once development of the 1.1 branch has begun, access to the latest source will become possible through a merge to the official development branch (as a development snapshot). See diagram below for proposed branching/merging.
  6. Regarding new features, the implementation of Transport SSL and Basic Authentiaction is to be included.
  7. After release of Version 1.0, bug fixes and enhancements will still be available as 1.0.1, 1.02, ...
  8. Projected release date and function for Version 1.1 not yet available
