This is the current time frame for the next releases:

• Not schedulded yet : 2.1 Alpha
• Not schedulded yet : 2.1 Beta 1
• On request : 2.0.5 (bug fix release)

• apply patches
• test flowmap + docs + etc
• documentation to be published by Forrest
• finish the document Updating Cocoon which describes the major changes since 2.0.2
• finish the refactoring of samples
• finish to move scratchpad stuff in main trunk
• more tests and examples on the flowmap. Seems to me that this strategic stuff has been a set a bit aside due to lack of time.
• Move complete Source implementation to Excalibur
• Change implementation for SitemapConfigurable

Although this version might be long in the future, we already have some plans...

• Design and implement blocks
• Move to a new Avalon container implementation (Merlin, Fortress or whatever)

• We have many open bugs in bugzilla. These must be reviewed and then solved (or declared invalid etc).
• Documentation updates (this area lacks most). We could move this to the final release. Documentation must be happening all the time, and not left until last.
• Checking what to backport. We have components in the latest developer versions, which might find their way into the bugfix version line (2.0.x).
• Ensure that licensing requirements have been met. update jars.xml, ensure proper banner in *.java header, verify the current LICENSE* files, ensure that external components have suitable licensing requirements.
• Everything we forgot...
