=== Goals for upcoming releases === | |||
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. | |||

:''See also [[JWE Project Ideas]] for additional info about some of these items.'' | |||
* 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. | |||
* Refactor/rewrite code for handling load path. | |||
* Refactor/rewrite exist and which functions. | |||
* 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. | |||
* Replace the [[GUI terminal widget|terminal widget in the GUI]]. | |||
* Accept Matlab's new argument validation syntax in parser. | |||
