Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Roadmap

Things to do before release:

Beta

Preferences

• Presets
  • Configs/keymaps for other apps, using preset system in splash screen -- DONE
    • Need presets contributed by community
  • New 2.5 key map

• Clean up installation issues
  • Proposal, define locations for config info/resource files, implement

• Partial User Preferences saving

Stable 2.5 release

Tools

• Mesh tools
  • We have a problem where many of the mesh editing tools have limitations, missing functionality, or bugs. It would not be too wise to spend a lot of time fixing this up, particularly with bmesh on the horizon. What we can do for now though is at least to define clearly what is supported and what isn't, and leave improvements for bmesh system
  • As part of this, go over what's supported and what isn't, and hide properties/functionality that don't work or don't update properly with operator redo system

Editors

• Move sequence editor preview to image editor

User Interface

• Threaded jobs system
  • less hardcoded, make possible for multiple jobs per owner
  • nicer UI, with progress bars -- DONE

• Header reports
  • nicer UI graphical layout (fading?) -- DONE
