Development plan
----------------
This development plan sets a specific set of milestones for future versions of glabels.
At this time (just prior to releasing 2.0.0) these milestones are somewhat nebulous and
subject to change.
Goals for 2.0.x:
- Bugfixes
- Translations
Possible Goals for 2.1.x (next development branch):
- Undo, Redo capability (possibly backport to 2.0.x)
- Editing text in-place (may not be all that necessary with the new
object editor sidebar.
- Make text items rich. I.e. allow multiple characteristics
to exist within a single object.
- Text effects. (follow contour, non-rectangular text boxes,
...)
- Object shadows. This is very important for text that
overlays photographs, so that it stands out against
varying backgrounds.
- Possible technology upgrades:
o Pango. This is a must to support rich text items.
o Cairo-based canvas. Either someone elses or home-grown.
o Cairo print rendering.
- Ability to select/unselect individual records during a merge-print.
- Add additional "merge" backends. Candidates include:
vCard
generic XML
freedb (CDDB) for CD labels
gnome-db
- Add facility for tweaking output (origin). This should really be
part of the underlying print system but is currently difficult to
accomplish, so I may want to add the hack. (candidate to backport
to 2.0.x)
