π― Goals for upcoming releases[edit]
As discussed in the Online Developer Meeting (2020-10-27), this wiki section is for a list of possible goals for the next release. Although anyone may edit the wiki, this section is intended for active developers, not a place to dump wishlist items or feature requests. Please create a subsection for your ideas/priorities.
jwe priorities[edit]
- See also JWE Project Ideas for additional info about some of these items.
Large New Features[edit]
- Compatible arguments block (some work has been done; need to execute actions when functions are called)
- Compatible local functions
- Compatible string class
- Define class itself ([initial implementation?)
- Construct strings objects from double quoted strings (painful transition).
- Compatible table class (initial implementation?)
- Create a low-level interface to HDF5 functions
- Support Matlab's HDF5-based MAT file format using the proposed low-level interface to HDF5 functions
- Allow all types of function handles to be saved and loaded
- Allow classdef objects to be saved and loaded
- Make import feature work
Internal Improvements[edit]
- Refactor/rewrite code for handling load path
- Refactor/rewrite exist and which functions
- Refactor function objects

- Write stack-based byte-code interpreter that doesn't result in deeply nested function calls to evaluate code
- JIT compiler
- Move more code inside octave namespace
- Eliminate mutable class data where possible
- Eliminate singleton objects
- Use classdef for handle graphics?
Other[edit]
- Bug fixes, especially those related to compatibility issues
- Work through the open bug reports for which patches have been submitted - review/apply/reject and close as many of these reports as possible
