Roadmap

[stoneface86]

This issue will serve as a roadmap for planned features. Feel free to suggest new features here, or discuss any of the planned features. Note that the roadmap may change at any time, as certain features may be prioritized as necessary. Reminder that this repo is for the front end of Trackerboy, so some features requested may require back end support (libtrackerboy). libtrackerboy's roadmap is located here

Items in bold are features that are required for release. Once all required features are implemented, the first release version (v1.0.0) will be published. There is no schedule for this version, since it only depends on all requirements being implemented.

v0.7.0

The Big Rewrite

Migration to Nim. This version will be the first to use the new Nim back end. The front end will also receive several new improvements as most of it is being rewritten as well. There may be a couple new features added in too, but this version should behave functionally as a patch update.

v0.8.0
