But that's just me. I'm certainly looking forward to 1.8, it's going to have some very good things in it. > what is still left to do, and who is working on > what-needs-to-be-done. There is a list in workbook/tasks/TODO. The biggest items are - Implement scm replacements for all of GH This includes designing the replacement first and writing documentation, both tutorial style and reference style. - Cleanup threading code and document it. Especially the roles of the different APIs (C low level, Scheme, Plugin) That should not be much work, but I have to admit that I'm a bit confused right now and need to make room in me head before attempting this. - Make 1.8 backwards compatible again with 1.6. This should be nearly done, but needs more testing. I want to work on these items when I have finished my thesis, which hopefully happens in the next three to four weeks.
