<p>This page is our roadmp for future features and releases.</p>
<h2>The new GPSD protocol</h2>
<p>As of mid-September 2009, we are wrapping up a three-month siege of
intense work on a top-to-bottom redesign of GPSD's wire protocol.
While this brings many benefits (including, immediately, the ability
to interpret and report on the output of marine AIS receivers) it
poses some significant deployment challenges as well.</p>
<p>Over the next few releases we're going to be preoccupied with
<a href="protocol-transition.html">managing the transition to the
new protocol.</a>. Here is our tentative release schedule:</p>
<dl>
<dt>2.40 — Before end of September</dt>
<dd><p>New client API freezes. Wire protocol still considered unstable.</p></dd>
<dt>2.41 — Before end of 2009</dt>
<dd><p>Wire protocol freezes (no incompatible changes going forward from
this point). Old protocol support will be removed from the daemon, but
not from the library.</p></dd>
<dt>2.42 — Jan-Feb 2010</dt>
<dd><p>Cleanup release, if needed.</p></dd>
<dt>3.0 — Some time in the first quarter of 2010</dt>
<dd><p>Old protocol support will be removed from the library.</p></dd>
</dl>
<h2>Changing hosting sites</h2>
<p>We're presently (September 2009) hosted at <a
href="http://developer.berlios.de">berlios.de</a>, but find that it
has become extremely flaky of late (logins failing due to broken SSL
certs is the most recent symptom). We plan to change sites before
2009 is over, probably to Googlecode where one of our developers has
face-to-face access to the administrators.</p>
<h2>Changing version-control systems</h2>
<p>Sometime after we move house, we'll change version-control systems
as well. Subversion has seved us well for five years, but we want to
move to a 3G system to make off-net development easier. No decision
has been matde yet, but the top candidates are Mercurial and git.</p>
