Development and Support

Project Roadmap and Milestones

Major milestones:

• Support for poetic meter: both parsing and predicting

• Support for custom models other than the default model

• Support for more default models

Tentative milestones (subject to change):

• Backwards compatibility with Python 3.5 (No other versions support planned)

• An improved GUI with better front and back end

• Package-level optimization

Future Support and Maintenance

Patches (e.g. x.x.1):

• Each patch consists mainly of bugs fixes, error corrections, and internal improvements.

• No new feature will be introduced.

Minor Updates (e.g. x.1.x):

• Each minor update will be supported and maintained for two minor release cycles after their relase. For example, v.1.0.x will be supported until the release of v.1.3.0.

• The last version before each major release (except versions before v.1.0.0) will potentially have longer life cycles depending on the number of breaking changes.

Major Updates (e.g. 2.0.0):

• There can be breaking changes without prior warnings.

• Currently, there is not yet roadmap for the next major update on the horizon.

Deprecations:

• All deprecations will have clear warnings and be included in release notes.

• Deprecations will be removed in the next major release.

• Backwards compatibility will be maintained before their removed. No breaking changes will occur in minor updates.
