NOTE: This is a working document showing specific near-term tasks needed for achieving milestones. The number in front of the version is in reference to the milestone.
 
''Milestones 0-9 have been completed since the start of the Inkscape Project. See [[OldRoadmap]]''
 
=== Milestone 10 - RFE's & Extensions Implementation - Inkscape 0.44 ===
 
New/Changed Dependencies
* (DONE) Add libcroco
 
Internals
 
* Implement extension API
* Implement extension registry
* Complete Extension preferences dialog
* (DONE) Reduce open/total RFE ratio to 55%
* masks/clippaths
** (DONE)Implement creation
** on-canvas editing
* Create an SPObject API for tracking references and avoiding id clashes on import and interdocument copy/paste. What we need are a void SPDocument::importCopies([set of SPObjects]), and an [set of SPObjects] SPObject::dependencies() method.
* Implement [http://grin-optics.org gradient] UI "release" handler to deal with gradient garbage collection (see bug 984854)
* improvement of svg patterns UI - make it similar to gradient-drag, instead of piggybacking knotholder
 
RFE's
* [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=893812&group_id=93438&atid=604309 hyperlinking]
*(DONE) tools: add/remove points on path, bezier drag
 
Maintenance
* Learn and use autoscan and autoreconf to find out which configure tests are still needed.
* Clean up configure.in
* (PARTIALLY DONE) [http://inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?DirectoryReorgProposal Directory Reorganization] (rejon)
* When run without installing, make it look for icon image file(s) locally so we don't get garbage icons
 
Testing
* (DONE) Implement tests of Inkscape against the [[W3C]] test suite [rick beton, bryce]
* Include some rendering tests in `make check'.
 
=== Milestone 11 - Import/Export Feature Enhancements - Inkscape 0.45 ===
 
* (DONE) Bidirectional text in Pango needs attention
* (DONE) [[MakeVertical]] in Pango needs attention
* (DONE) integrate [[Googles_Summer_Of_Code]] 2006 work, i.e. [[Filter_Effects|SVG Filters]] and [[User:Daleharvey|formalising the protocol for inkboard communication]]
* Make printing work more efficiently and reliably
* PDF Export
* Investigate ps2ai, pstoedit and ai2svg conversion options (potential EPS support?)
* Import of native Adobe Illustrator files
* Other RFE's related to Import/Export
* Add extension for use of [[VDX2SVG]] (http://vdxtosvg.sourceforge.net/)
* Add extension for use of [[PDF2SVG]] (http://www.solidcode.net/pdf2svg/ - this doesn't actually link to a useful page)
* [[WebDAV/FTP]] support via GNOME-VFS, Neon, or the like
 
=== Milestone 12 - Style Refactoring - Inkscape 0.46 ===
 
* Eliminate use of the style.h types in as much of codebase as possible, particularly display/*.
* Change to use of GQuarks instead of #defines where feasible
 
=== Milestone 13 - Bug Hunt & RFE's - Inkscape 0.47 ===
 
* Reduce open/total RFE ratio to 40%
* Reduce open/total bug ratio to 5%
 
=== Milestone 14 - Drawing Feature Enhancements - Inkscape 0.48 ===
 
* Object-to-object snapping
* (DONE) Markers
* Enhanced grid system
* Inter-application cut-and-paste
* Inter-application drag-and-drop
* Clipart manager GUI
* (DONE) Load-from-URL
 
=== Milestone 15 - Style Rewrite & libcroco - Inkscape 0.49 ===
 
* Replace style.cpp entirely, with a clearer and cleaner version.
* (DONE) Integrate use of libcroco for handling Cascading Style Sheets.
 
* Palettes
** Custom palettes like from Gnome
** Ability to load 3rd-party palettes (e.g. Pantone, Trumatch, Focoltone, Toyo, etc.)
 
 
=== Milestone 16 - Cairoification - Inkscape 0.50 ===
 
* Prereq: Is renderer immune to the same kinds of numerical problems we see with our new renderer, libnr, or libart?
* Will the new renderer improve performance for most users?
* Integrate a Cairo-based SVG Canvas library
 
=== Milestone 17 - Animation Conceptualization - Inkscape 0.51 ===
 
* Prereq: We need a conceptualization of how it should work
* Currently, part of the concept discussion is at [[Animation-(Timeline)|here]]
 
 
=== Milestone 18 - Fonts Revisited - Inkscape 0.52 ===
 
* Reenable fuzzy font matching [bb]
 
=== Milestone 19 - Palettes - Inkscape 0.53 ===
 
* Implement [[LittleCMS]] as color management system
* (DONE) Create a swatches dialog
 
=== Milestone 20 - Full Animation Support - Inkscape 0.54 ===
 
=== Milestone 21 - RFE's - Inkscape 0.55 ===
 
* Reduce open/total RFE ratio to 30%
 
 
=== Milestone [Future] ===
* Investigate performance measurement testing for Inkscape
* Convert all tabs into spaces (convert tabs to 4 spaces)
* Rename all '[[SPFooBar]]' routines to '[[FooBar]]' and put into namespaces
** (DONE) dialogs folder
* Investigate SVG docs where SVG is not the default namespace used at the root -- e.g. <svg:svg xmlns:svg="http://...etc"><svg:rect.../><blah></svg:svg> -- <blah> would end up getting shoehorned into the svg namespace
* Write an Internal DTD subset describing the custom Inkscape XML elements, for validation against SVG DTD
* Ensure Inkscape does not throw away the internal DTD subsets of documents it reads
* Start thinking about 1.0 when major functionality gaps are closed
** (BASICALLY DONE) layers
** (DONE) color palette
** (DONE) gradient tool
** (DONE) patterns
** (DONE) text on path and in shape
** (DONE) text selection
** (DONE) SVG filters
** mask tool
** perspective transforms
** scripting
** path editing
** shaped strokes
* Implement preliminary support for iso & hex grid
* Implement perspective transformations via [[PerspectiveObject]]
* Improve freehand curve smoothness [pjrm, paraprax]
* Review X1-1GUITest on SF
* Review usability links at http://openusability.org/docman/?group_id=52
* Review usability links at http://openusability.org/docman/?group_id=57
* Editable toolbars (libegg)
