| *** Release Plan |
| |
| This document outline the current goals for the next release. |
| This document defines objectives and action items that should |
| be met before the next release. Longer term goals should be |
| placed in the file named ROADMAP. |
| |
| Objective: |
| |
| The main objective of 1.1 release is to package a definitive |
| implementation of Base64 and Hex in addition to the phonetic |
| encoders currently implemented in the "language" package. It |
| is the objective of the [codec] project to provide a point |
| of consolidation for [binary|text|language] codecs. |
| |
| The 1.1 release will be a foundation for further expansion |
| of the available binary encoders and decoders, but it should |
| be noted that the objective is to provide an implementation |
| of Base64 and Hex - byte[] and IO stream. |
