 Development plan
 ----------------
 This development plan sets a specific set of milestones for future versions of glabels.
-At this time (just prior to releasing 2.0.0) these milestones are somewhat nebulous and
-subject to change.
 
 
-Goals for 2.0.x:
+Goals for 2.2.x:
 
                -  Bugfixes
 
                -  Translations
 
 
-Possible Goals for 2.1.x (next development branch):
+Possible Goals for 2.3.x (current development branch):
 
-               -  Undo, Redo capability (possibly backport to 2.0.x)
-
-               -  Editing text in-place (may not be all that necessary with the new
-                  object editor sidebar.
+               -  Undo, Redo capability
 
                -  Make text items rich.  I.e. allow multiple characteristics
                   to exist within a single object.

                -  Text effects.  (follow contour, non-rectangular text boxes,
                   ...)
 
-               -  Object shadows.  This is very important for text that
-                  overlays photographs, so that it stands out against
-                  varying backgrounds.
-
-               -  Possible technology upgrades:
-
-                       o Pango.  This is a must to support rich text items.
-
-                       o Cairo-based canvas.  Either someone elses or home-grown.
-
-                       o Cairo print rendering.
-
-
                -  Ability to select/unselect individual records during a merge-print.
 
                -  Add additional "merge" backends.  Candidates include:
-                       vCard
                        generic XML
                        freedb (CDDB) for CD labels
                        gnome-db
-
-               -  Add facility for tweaking output (origin).  This should really be
-                  part of the underlying print system but is currently difficult to
-                  accomplish, so I may want to add the hack. (candidate to backport
-                  to 2.0.x)

+                       ADIF for generating QSL-cards
+
+               -  Printer calibration tool: a facility for tweaking output origin and
+                  scale.  This should really be part of the underlying print system but
+                  currently is not, so I may want to add the hack.
+
+               -  Adjustable grid spacing.  Spacing of visible grid should be user
+                  adjustable.  This grid spacing should be an integral multiple of
+                  a finer invisible grid.  There should be a "snap to grid" toggle,
+                  that causes all posistioning and sizing performed on the canvas
+                  to snap to the closest grid.  The possible grid spacing should be
+                  appropriate for the current units selected (e.g. .1 points, .01 mm,
+                  1/64 inch, 0.001 inch).
+
+               -  Allow for management of custom templates
+                  (i.e. delete, rename, edit).
