I still do not give up hope that LyX 1.4 will eventually become reality.
Since http://www.devel.lyx.org/roadmap.php3 is totally outdated (it lists some features that were initially planned for 1.2), I started to set up a new task list covering the remaining open issues of LyX 1.4.
Beside the usual bug fixing, I see the following open issues:
*******************************************************************
Mandatory tasks
- Kernel - General cleanup (details?) (AB, AP)
- Frontend: - QT box dialog (JS)
- LyX2LyX - Vspace conversion
- Change tracking - Major rewrite (JL?)
- User manuals & translations - General overhaul (various artists)
Optional tasks
- Frontend: - Controller simplications (AL) - ControlDocument ControlPreamble ControlPrint ControlSearch ControlSendto ControlSpellchecker ControlForks ControlPrefs - QT citation dialog - Insert dialog pops up immediately (JS)
*******************************************************************
Did I miss anything? Or is anybody working on some pet project that shall be included in LyX 1.4?
IMHO we should agree on a feature freeze really soon now - taking into account that we have already entered the bug fixing phase some _months_ ago!
Of course, this is just my personal opinion...
