This is the history and schedule of the stable releases. If you want to know more about our plans read our thoughts.

0.1: init: simple, single document editor

0.3: more comfort: find in files, file sessions, and much more comfort
0.4: liquid: scriptable menus and bars, first panel extensions
0.5: extensible editor: first plugins, folding, codings, moveable tabs
0.5: coding support: codesnippets, folding, autocompletition, tidy
0.7: project / file / ftp manager modul
0.8: shell / debugger / cvs binding/docs
1.0: With this version I want to give the perl community a good and free coding tool, still a missing feature of perl.

Scheduled Testing Releases

These are the milestones up to our next stable release. We call them testing releases.

0.4: liquid editor
0.4.1: folding, better localisation API
0.4.2: new tabbar, folding finalized
0.4.3: encodings, marker
0.4.4: plugin API
0.4.5: printing
0.4.6: config dialog
0.5: extensible editor

The 0.4.n series is mainly about Perl developing tools. Thats what I need, because I have become a Perl programmer long time ago and furthermore I like the Perl community and want to become Kephra their IDE.

In the first stage (during fist two testing releases) I want to solve the installation problems of the CPAN module Kephra. A Debian package can than be build. The test suite and developer documentation will also be enhanced.

The larger task will be to add the tools (we already began with the output panel) like Perl tidy integration, auto completion, folding, vi like command line and a snippet library that not only can hold strings for insertion, but can perform every command on the selected text, even external filter programs.

And there are parts like the syntax modes, config dialog and panel based status bar which where planed for 0.4 but should be delivered before 0.5.
