This page describes our plan for making JsWidget something we want people to use.

Pre-releases

The following are "preview" versions, not things we suggest you use in a massive public-facing web service.

0.1

• It exists at all!

0.2

• Correct questions

0.3

• Apache Content Negotiation for language selection
• (Hopefully) stable API for importing and exporting license choices
• IE (6 and 7) compatibility

0.4

• all HTML elements and CSS classes are prefixed with cc_js_ to avoid namespace clashes with others' apps
• Safari compatibility
• Opera compatibility

At this point, there is feature completeness for the core JsWidget code. There is code clean-up to do after this, and there is external translation work to do, but that should be all. Bugfixes as needed before 1.0.

0.5

• (X) Massive clean-out of unused JavaScript code and unused CSS style
• (X) Remove dependency on Prototype
• (X) Performance analysis, fixes based on this
  • done for client-server side, and small client side performance fix implemented (only change visible selected license if the license really changed) because it decreases "flicker" in the UI
• Security analysis of server-side and client-side code, fixes based on this

0.7

• UI prettification (done by Alex)
• code prettification (by Asheesh)
  • use zc.buildout for dependencies

0.8

Backend-only release:

• Come up with a solid story for auto-updating translations and jurisdictions
• Decide/describe promises that the version numbers mean

0.9

• Just like 1.0, hopefully.

Release

The following are versions we suggest you use in a massive public-facing web service.

1.0

• All strings are translated
• We have a story for keeping this up with high reliability
• It looks nice
