Roadmap and Prioritization (AM)

Goals for Version 4
- Ease of use and familiarity for developers (both user and maintainer) new to the project
-
Major release is an opportunity to reset, rebase, reconsider:
- Compilers/platforms/dependencies, buildsystem, documentation format
- APIs and code generation strategies
- Repository structure
- Update to RTPS as default for discovery and transport
- Removal of older, less-maintained, superseded features
-
Priorities and Tradeoffs
- Required vs. optional features and dependencies (Security, JSON)
-
Single git repo or multiple repos (with submodules or scripts)
- Java Bindings, Bench, Wireshark Dissector, Shapes Demo, Modeling SDK, FACE Transport Services
- Migration path for users of 3.x
- Let us know how you're configuring OpenDDS
Open Discussion (All)
