Planned releases

Release early, release often.

—Eric S. Raymond

The following table summarizes what is planned for next releases, which will be done every two months. It is not a matter of truth: priority of things included in Bill releases may change, depending on where the community decides to focus, but it is good to have at least an initial plan.

Release	Date	Features
0.1	11/2008	Module system
		Base standard library
		Tools for unit testing, script deployment and documentation
		Billets container
		Billets API specification
0.2	01/2009	Christmas present
		Speed-ups in C for speed critical code (data/hash, builtins, and text/string look like they are good candidates).
0.3	03/2009	Use C speedups in standard library
		Administration tools for Billets, to help with enabling, disabling, deploying, removing billets, etc.
0.4	05/2009	Localization / gettext support

0.5	07/2009	Maintenance release, mostly bug fixes and code clean-ups

[1]	Here “safe” means that it does not allow arbitrary execution of user code.
