ImageCache - The Road Ahead
Long term plans for this module
Although Drupal 7 is picking up steam, not all existing Drupal 6 websites using ImageCache will upgrade to Drupal 7. This is why I offered to maintain ImageCache.
The road to 2.0
- Create a 2.0-rc1 release today [done].
- Mark all critical issues as 2.0 release blockers: 27 in total [done]
- Fix all 27 critical issues [Reduced to only two critical issues]
- Release 2.0-rc2
- Fix all bugs and security issues specific to 2.0-rc2
- Release 2.0
The road to 3.0
There's a large number of bug reports for 2.x. The sole goal of 3.0 will be to completely clear the bug report issue queue by committing all of the most important bug fixes. There will be no new feature enhancements for 3.0. This branch will be created when 2.0 is released.
The road to 4.0
The goal of 4.0 will be to incorporate feature requests that have been ignored during 3.0, and generally continue development of the module. This branch will be created when 3.0 is released.
The road to 5.0
If this module, and Drupal 6, is still useful by this time, the goal of 5.0 will be to incorporate large architectural changes in the codebase, including a complete rewrite of certain components if necessary. This branch will be created when 4.0 is released.
