Platform Roadmap:Old

From OpenLaszlo

This is a provisional roadmap, that we will use to plan the next release.

Next Release

[edit]

In Progress

These were in progress during the freeze of OpenLaszlo 3.1. They aren't committed for the next release, but since they're partly done it's likely that they'll go in.

  • Unload snippets (Tucker). An undocumented version of this is checked into OL3.1. We need to design how this will really work, and define a public API.
  • Deep linking/bookmarking capability (Max)
  • Data namespaces.
  • Leak 'weight' inspection (Tucker)
[edit]

Likely

High priority/likely to go in the next release.

  • Port script compiler to Java (Tucker)
  • Target runtime declarations (Oliver)
[edit]

Components

  • History components (Max)
  • Fast tree control (Max)
  • Pooling combobo (Max)
  • Use bitmap caching (Max or Henry)
[edit]

Wishlist

Not yet scheduled against the next release; how many of these get in will depend on how fast we make progress against the list above.

  • Import swf scripts
[edit]

Path coercion

  • Automatic coercion of $path attributes (Max)
[edit]

Performance

  • callInherited bytecode (Tucker)
[edit]

Components

  • Panel
  • Divider
  • File upload
  • Sortable list
  • A/V
[edit]

Debugger

  • Debugger control panel (Henry). Either add back to the inline debugger (after adding namespace support), or to the console, where name clashes aren't an issue.
  • Debugger control for memory leak tools (Henry)
[edit]

Internal Productivity

  • Only use the cached console for release versions (!LPS.isInternalBuild()) (Henry)
  • Display a warning if the cached copy is older than the sources, same as the warning when the LFC is out of date (Henry)
  • LzLoader cleanup (Max). Tucker says: I don't really understand the structure of all the subclasses of LzLoader. Many of them seem to willy-nilly override core methods without any consideration of what the contract of that method is. If I had more time, I'd review all the subclasses and try to make them sane(er). So far, I have just been trying to work up from the bottom and had not gotten to the media loader. In the short-term, you could copy the code inside the if ($debug) in LzLoader.gerLoadMovie to the media loader method, or perhaps there is some refactoring that would let the media loader share more of the superclass implementation.
