That is, 0.5.6, 0.5.8 and then 0.6. <br><br><span>Our 0.6 Roadmap (proposed) at <a target="_blank" href="http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Roadmap">http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Roadmap</a> has:</span><br><br><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> 0.6 Proposed </span></h2>
<ul><li> Database
<ul><li> NHibernate (if possible. This unifies a lot of the data paths and there is some sample NHibernate code on the list)
</li><li> Persistance for AV Appear across Sim Reboots (partial implementation by MW already)
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> Scripting
<ul><li> Complete LSL functions (~ 30% now)
</li><li> Script engine base improvements
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> Grid Mode
<ul><li> OGS2 REST protocol (we've been kicking this around for a while, perhaps 0.6 is the right time for it?)
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> Physics
<ul><li> Hollow and Cut Prims support (need to write for 20 prim types)
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> Canned Assets
<ul><li> Clothes
</li><li> Bodies
</li><li> Prim Objects
</li><li> Animations
</li><li> Textures
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<ul><li> Profile
<ul><li> Would like to write a Profile Module interface that lets you
backend the profile pane to various different directory services
(sdague)
</li></ul>
</li></ul>
So, I guess the questions for the group are:<br><br>1. Does this represent out perception of where we wish to be for the 0.6 release?<br>2. Are two minor snapshot releases of 0.5.6 & 0.5.8 followed by 0.6 reasonable?<br>3. Is merely increasing the time between the snapshots (if desired by core) sufficient for us to get to 0.6 without undue angst?<br><br>Yours Truly, Don Quixote<br>Trusty Steed, Trusty Lance, Pesky Windmills.<br><br><br></div></div></body></html>
