   1 C++ Features
   2 ============
   3
   4 - Namespaces.
   5 - STL containers compatibility (including using STL-like
   6   adapters for wxWindows containers).
   7 - Exception Handling: making the code exception-safe, and
   8   also _using_ exceptions throughout the code.
   9
  10 Core
  11 ====
  12
  13 - Use wxEventLoop in all builds.
  14 - Remove wxCOMPATIBILITY (1.X).
  15 - Modularization/Build System/Project File Generation.
  16 - A configuration tool to generate setup.h and configure
  17   commands.
  18 - RTTI native Support, Properties/Member-Metadata, 2-Step Init with
  19   virtual create: e.g. Create(const wxArrayVariant&).

  21 Documentation
  22 =============
  23
  24 - The possibility of moving doc into header files with tool
  25   support.
  26 - Detailed review of doc accuracy.
  27 - wxDC : Precise definition of default/initial state.
  28 - wxDC : Pixelwise definition of operations (e.g. last point of a
  29   line not drawn).

  31 wxEvents
  32 ========
  33
  34 Change Idle Handling
  35 --------------------
  36 Current Implementation is using too many CPU cycles.
  37
  38 Loose Coupling Event-Source Event-Sink
  39 --------------------------------------
  40 Kind of the NextStep/C# very performant coupling, exposing
  41 events via metadata.
  42
  43 Remove Lazy Init of Eventtables
  44 -------------------------------
  45 Was introduced as a bug-fix, not needed anymore, consumes
  46 considerable CPU time.

  49 Modules/Plugins
  50 ===============
  51
  52 Architecture
  53 ------------
  54
  55 We aim to arrive at a lazy initializiation of modules only when they are first
  56 needed. Dependency information between modules is needed. Dynamic Plug-In
  57 loading and unloading must be compatible with that.
  58
  59 wxUniversal
  60 ===========
  61
  62 - Renderers within native ports.
  63
  64 wxPrinting
  65 ==========
  66
  67 - Page preflighting capabilities in order to determine number
  68   of pages.
  69 - Preview UI enhancement.
  70
  71 wxStaticBox
  72 ===========
  73
  74 Hide the platform problems (GTK: 'children' must be siblings) in encapsulation
  75 in order to avoid problems on ports where the hierarchy must be
  76 'correct'.
  77
  78 Miscellaneous
  79 =============
  80
  81 - wxDC Support for point to char-position with text rendering.
  82 - wxLocale Extension (eg currency).
  83 - wxStreams review.
