wxWindows Roadmap

Schedule | To-Do List

This page represents current thinking about where wxWindows is going in the near, medium and long-term. It also serves as a schedule for new releases so that both developers and users can know what to expect when, at least approximately.

We are adopting the Linux kernel style of numbering system where odd minor version numbers are development versions, and even numbers are stable versions. For example, 2.1.x are development releases, and the next 'stable' or final release of it would be 2.2.

Bug-fix patches to the stable release (if made) then become point releases of 2.2 (2.2.x) while development continues with wild abandon on 2.3.x until the end of the next development cycle when it is released as 2.4.

Development versions that end up on the FTP site or CD-ROM, as opposed to remaining in the CVS archive, are semi-stable -- i.e. they are checked for compilation and run-time problems, but not as thoroughly as the stable versions.

Note that since the wxWindows effort is voluntary, these are not hard-and-fast deadlines: but we will endeavour to follow them as closely as possible.

Note also that the releases described are for wxGTK, wxMSW and wxMotif ports. wxMac currently follows its own development path but is due to merge with the main code base in November/December. Also, minor snapshot releases for specific platforms may be available at dates convenient to the developers.
