We are currently working hard on building a stable base on which Ãtoilé will
be constructed.
-The current Ãtoilé release is 0.4.1, which features:
-
-- LanguageKit, an LLVM-based compiler for dynamic languages (currently
featuring Smalltalk)
-- CoreObject, our object database with message-based persistency and versioning
-- EtoileUI, the flexible UI layer we will use for composite document editors,
desktop-publishing user interfaces, collection-based applications, etc.
+The current Ãtoilé release is 0.4.2, released in April 2012.
Roadmap
=========
-0.4.2 (January 2011)
-------------------------
-
-- EtoileUI first official/usable release. Features detailed
[here](/etoile/features/etoileui).
-- Stable and more polished LanguageKit. Major additions are:
- - new AST interpreter
- - Just-Too-Late compilation
- - float litteral support
- - various speed improvements
- - optimization passes with the new GNU runtime (e.g. type-driven
feedback for inlining)
- - Mac OS X support but limited to the interpreter
- - Smalltalk block variables a la Squeak
- - debugging support
- - more friendly parsing/compilation error reporting
- - replaced the C bridge between LLVM C++ and LK ObjC with ObjC++
-- Switch from GCC to Clang compiler and the new GNU runtime version 2 inspired
by the Ãtoilé runtime
- - ObjC 2 support (properties, non-fragile ivars, fast enumeration etc.)
- - block support
- - optimization passes
-- ObjectiveC2 abstraction layer (now merged into GNUstep Base)
-- Cleaned EtoileFoundation
-- Major additions to EtoileFoundation:
- - rich HOM and block API based on a common model (clang compatible)
- - new Mirror-based Reflection built on top of the new ObjectiveC2
abstraction layer (leveraged by EtoileUI)
- - metamodel inspired by FAME and Magritte
- - various improvements and additions
-- Cleaned XMPPKit
-- Completed EtoileSerialize XML backend and sending objects over XMPP
-- Switch from Camaelon to GNUstep theming
-- Rewriting of the menu support to have a EtoileWildMenus as minimal as
possible. Most of it should be discontinued or merged into GNUstep
-
-
-0.4.3 (Spring 2011)
+0.4.3 (2014)
-------------------------------
-
-### User-visible Stuff:
-
-- Generic Object Manager prototype written in Smalltalk+CO+EUI
-- Structured/Compound/Graphics document editor first preview
-- Updated Mélodie that uses the latest EUI API, supporting undo/redo and
pick/drop
-- PhotoManager first preview
-- Polished Nesedah and Narcissus themes with the new GNUstep theme engine
-
### Developer Stuff:
-- EtoileText first release. EtoileText enables semantic and structured text
editing with transparent persistence and history.
-- Cleaned EtoileSerialize and CoreObject:
- - ETSerialObjectStore protocol which represents a full object with all
its history rather than just a branch this will allow to remove code in CO that
more or less simulates that)
- - COObject hierarchy returns proxies and not real instances (which
means the object graph restoration code can be simplified)
- - the possibility to update/migrate the database schema. We should at
least handle basic addition/removal of columns/tables without deleting the old
database
- - FUSE bridge (to be committed and cleaned)
- - EtoileUI backend (already committed in EtoileUI/CoreObjectBackend,
but needs to be cleaned)
- - concurrency control
- - update/notification to push changes to processes that access the same
core objects concurrently
-- EtoileUI major additions:
- - CoreObject-based persistence of layout item trees
- - affine transform and rotation support
- - aspect repository and versatile styling mechanism
- - viewpoints to create arbitrary views/projections of on an object graph
- - more tools (e.g. Zoom tool)
-- Video support in MediaKit and a video player
-- OMeta may be and new Smalltalk parser based on it
-- Fully cleaned EtoileFoundation (e.g. mixins, prototype support for the new
GNU runtime)
-
+- CoreObject (first release, an early prototype was released in 0.4.1)
+- LanguageKit
+- SourceCodeKit
+- EtoileFoundation (fully cleaned e.g. mixins, prototype support for the new
GNU runtime)
+- UnitKit (fully cleaned)
0.4.x
-------
### User-visible Stuff:
-- Working prototype of ProjectManager
-- Working prototype of OverlayShelf
-- CodeMonkey IDE first preview
-- EtoileUI-based UI builder first preview (will evolve to something closer to
Flash/Hypercard in the long run)
-- Inbox first preview. Inbox is generic messaging UI, hence it may supercede
StepChat.
-- Structured text editor based on EtoileText and EtoileUI
-- Working Terminal
+- Nesedah and Narcissus themes (rewritten to use the GNUstep theme engine)
+- Generic Object Manager
+- Worktable (compound document editor)
+- Mélodie (rewritten to use the latest CoreObject and EtoileUI API, support
undo/redo and pick/drop etc.)
+- PhotoManager
+- ProjectManager
+- OverlayShelf
+- CodeMonkey IDE
+- UI builder
+- Inbox (generic messaging UI that may supercede StepChat)
+- StructuredTextEditor (hybrid text editor / outliner based on EtoileText that
may supercede Typewriter)
+- Terminal
### Developer Stuff:
-- EScript (JavaScript dialect atop LanguageKit)
-- Stable and really usable CoreObject. This means to have probably most of
these:
- - deletion model & garbage collector
- - basic indexing/querying of metadatas
- - versioning of structured content into a single persistent root (aka
object bundle)
- - UTI-based supercasting mechanism to look up components/services based
on their role and their ability to operate on the targeted object type.
-- EtoileUI major additions:
- - plugin/component machinery to package and load aspects and document
components on the fly (might be implemented as a small standalone framework)
- - connectors and basic diagramming abilities (to be used in the UI
builder)
- - basic animation support (if and how we integrate it with
CoreAnimation in the long run is still undecided)
- - more CoreObject integration
- - integration with AppKit text system (text block chaining etc.)
-- EtoilePaint, a hybrid vector/bitmap graphics editing framework built on top
of EtoileUI
-- SystemConfig progresses (keyboard configuration etc.)
-- SystemConfig and DBusKit integration
-- AddressBook and BookmarkKit on top of CoreObject
+- OMeta and new Smalltalk parser
+- EtoileUI
+- EtoileText (semantic and structured text editing that leverages CoreObject)
+- EtoilePaint (hybrid vector/bitmap graphics editing framework built on top of
EtoileUI)
+- Video support in MediaKit and a video player
+- SystemConfig (keyboard configuration, DBusKit integration etc.)
+- Contact and Bookmark APIs on top of CoreObject
- Cleaned EtoileXML
- Fully cleaned XMPPKit (API naming and consistency check)
-- Fully cleaned UnitKit
- Mock object testing for UnitKit
0.5
-----
-In 2011 we hope to release Ãtoilé 0.5, which will be our first release aimed
at users - it will be a functioning preview of the desktop environment we have
been planning and developing for the past five years.
