This is the roadmap for ikiwiki development.

# 1.0

* No severe [[security]] bugs.
* All the basic [[features]] people would expect in a wiki.

Released 29 April 2006.

The 1.x series is no longer supported.

----

# 2.0

* New improved URLs to pages via `usedirs`.
* [[plugins/OpenID]] support, enabled by default.
* Plugin [[interface|plugins/write]] added, with some 60 [[plugins]] available,
  greatly expanding the capabilities of ikiwiki.
* [[Tags]], atom feeds, and generally full-fledged blogging support.
* Fully working [[todo/utf8]].
* Optimisations, approximately 3.5 times as fast as version 1.0.
* Improved scalability to large numbers of pages.
* Improved scalable [[logo]].
* Support for additional revision control systems besides svn: git,
  tla, mercurial.
* Some support for other markup languages than markdown: rst, textile.
* Unit test suite, with more than 300 tests.

Released 30 April 2007.

The 2.x series is now in maintenance mode. Only security fixes and fixes for
really bad bugs will be applied going forward.

# 3.0

Version 3.0 is an opportunity to make significant transitions, and also adds
many new features.

* See [[tips/upgrade_to_3.0]] for the steps you will need to follow
  when upgrading to this version.
* Finalise a new version of the plugin API, exporting additional commonly
  used functions from IkiWiki.pm. See [[todo/firm_up_plugin_interface]]

It will include a vast number of new features, bugfixes, and other
improvements, far too many to list here.

Release is planned for fall^Wlate, 2008.

The 3.x series is expected to undergo continuing development for some time,
adding improvements and new features, but avoiding changes that break
backwards compatability.

# future goals

* Conversion support for existing other wikis.
  (Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by [[Josh_Triplett|JoshTriplett]]
  and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
  framework.)
* [[TODO]], [[bugs]], ...
