Key features planned for future releases:

2.1	2.2	beyond
Use new ranking code for real Improve voting New default graphics List of unfinished 2.1 tasks	Map editor integrated into client Expanded terrain types Unit classes Improved scripting	New governments code and rules New Cairo-based drawing code Improved metaserver services. Metaserver metascorelog.

This is a list of features that the maintainers want to add to the next release, currently labeled "2.1". Please do not edit this page unless you have cvs write access.

[edit] Current 2.1 release goals

Add categories for client options. [Jason] [done]
Make the overview resizable. [Jason]
Rewrite the audio code. [Per] [partially done; unlikely that more will be done by me for now Per 07:23, 13 Aug 2005 (PDT)]
Include SFX and Music with the default package. [done]
There should be GUI audio volume controls, separate for Music and SFX at a minimum. At best you can even pick which Music is playing now. Although this would likely conflict with the idea of Music changing with game mood.
Resolve the problem of nation selection. Nations should have groups they are assigned to. PR#9695 [Mateusz] [done]
Finish gen-terrain. [Jason]
Change client-side air goto to use orders. [Jason] [done]
Event system. [Vasco] [basic framework mostly done]
Write a more generalized sources cache and dependencies code, so we can have player unique wonders (like Civilization III small wonders), SMAC satellites, etc. (will probably break network and savedgame compatibility again). [small wonders in; effects TNG in; new features still being added to requirements code]
Player/team setup pregame dialog. [Jason] [mostly done]
Figure out a way to ship a GTK+ theme bolted into the GTK+ client. PR#28301 [Christian] [done]

[edit] Current 2.2 release goals

Unit Classes [done, additional features required?]
gen-movement [mostly done, acceptable for 2.2]
Editor [partially done]
Improved scripting
Lua 5.1

[edit] TODO list

Add a replay feature.
FTWL/OpenGL client or OpenGL drawing backend.
Figure out a way to add animation to the map drawing backend.
Start work on a Civilization III ruleset (should be easier than SMAC IMHO). It doesn't need to be 100% compatible at the beginning.
Integrate IPV6 patch.
New governments rules.
Also see the Help wanted forum.

Feel free to pitch in to help code any of the above.
