[incquery-dev] status update, bugzillas

[Istvan Rath <rath@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

as you may have noticed, I tried to clean up our bugzilla a bit more. I introduced the new version tag 0.9.x, and assigned those issues to it that I consider most important to address once 0.8 is out.

As it stands now, our planned tasks for making 0.8 happen on time are as follows:
- Uzi works on IQPL, EIQ editor and builder-related issues (most notably, reworking plugin.xml generation to eliminate bugs related to Xcore integration)
- Tomi works on the Xcore integration and the preliminary version of the debugger view (mostly docs)
- Gaben works on finalizing the recipes refactor (along with adding some badly needed test cases), type inferencing issues and some runtime-related bugs
- Abel works on a bug related to the derived feature generator, and EMF data bindings
- Akos works on PBody flattening (?)
- I work on some minor UI issues

There are some other issues scheduled for 0.8 where we expect external contributions:
- Mavenization for recipes (Gabor Szarnyas, Denes Harmath)
- Maven-compatible IncQuery Builder (Jozsef Makai)

Just to remember, the most important planned feature highlights of 0.8 will include:
- compatibility with Xtext 2.5, improved UI and builder performance
- completely rewritten builder to improve performance and reusability/adaptability of the IncQuery technology
- internal runtime refactorings (dependency sanitization, recipes, etc) to improve reusability/adaptability of IncQuery technology
- full support for query libraries reuse across multiple IncQuery projects
- Xcore integration (query-based derived features)
- UI stability and performance improvements
- IncQuery Viewers improvements
- lots of various bug fixes
- (if all goes well) Maven-compatible builder to allow for building IncQuery projects on build servers
- (if all goes well) IncQuery Debugger Tooling

Please review your bugzillas again, and report back if you consider anything unrealistic. As usual, all other comments are welcome too.

cheers
Istvan
