+This is the roadmap for ikiwiki development.
# 1.0
-Generally usable release.
-
* No severe [[security]] bugs.
-* All the [[features]] people would expect in a wiki. Needs to be a plausable
- promise of being a wiki that people can commit to [[using|ikiwikiusers]].
+* All the basic [[features]] people would expect in a wiki.
Released 29 April 2006.
+The 1.x series changed a great deal over the more than 50 releases in its
+lifetime. It is now in maintenance mode, only security issues or really bad
+bugs will be fixed in 1.x going forward. 1.x will stop being supported with
+the release of 3.0.

# 2.0
-* Unit test suite (with tests of at least core stuff like
- [[PageSpec]]). _(status: exists, could of course use more tests)_
-* [[Plugins]] _(status: done, interface still not quite stable)_
-* [[Tags]] _(status: fair)_
-* Should have fully working [[todo/utf8]] support. _(status: fair)_
-* [[Optimised_rendering|todo/optimisations]] if possible. Deal with other
- scalability issues. _(status: 45%-60%+ speedup since 1.0)_
-* Improved [[todo/html]] stylesheets and templates.
-* Improved scalable [[logo]]. _(status: done)_
-* Support for at least one RCS aside from svn. Once it supports two, it should
- quickly grow to support them all.. See [[about_rcs_backends]]
- _(status: supports git in tree)_
-* Support for one other markup language, probably restructured text.
- _(status: done, but the rst plugin needs improvement)_
-* No serious known [[bugs]]
-* No severe-to-moderate known [[security]] issues.
+* New improved URLs to pages via `usedirs`.
+* [[plugins/OpenID]] support, enabled by default.
+* Plugin [[interface|plugins/write]] added, with some 60 [[plugins]] available,
+ greatly expanding the capabilities of ikiwiki.
+* [[Tags]], atom feeds, and generally full-fledged blogging support.
+* Fully working [[todo/utf8]].
+* Optimisations, approximately 3.5 times as fast as version 1.0.
+* Improved scalability to large numbers of pages.
+* Improved scalable [[logo]].
+* Support for additional revision control systems besides svn: git,
+ tla, mercurial.
+* Some support for other markup languages than markdown: rst, textile.
+* Unit test suite, with more than 300 tests.
+
+Released 30 April 2007.
+
+The 2.x series is expected to undergo continuing development for some time,
+adding improvements and new features, but avoiding changes that break
+backwards compatability.
+
+----
+
+# 3.0
+
+Version 3.0 will be an opportunity to make significant transitions.
+
+* Default to using `prefix_directives`.
+* Default to using `aggregateinternal`.
+* Remove deprecated prefs form settings for `allowed_attachments` and
+ `locked_pages`.
+* Finalise a new version of the plugin API, exporting additional commonly
+ used functions from IkiWiki.pm. See [[todo/firm_up_plugin_interface]]
+
+It will include a vast number of new features, bugfixes, and other
+improvements, far too many to list here.
+
+Release is planned for fall, 2008.
+
+----
+
+# future goals
+
+* Conversion support for existing other wikis.
+ (Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by [[Josh_Triplett|JoshTriplett]]
+ and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
+ framework.)
+* [[TODO]], [[bugs]], ...
