	<perex>Vision of future versions</perex>

	<pořadí>14</pořadí>

	<text xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

		<p>

			Releases before v1.0.0 are development and are not intended for production use.

			Releases after v1.0.0 should follow the rules of <a href="http://semver.org/">Semantic versioning</a>.

		</p>

		<p>

			Released versions are described on the <m:a href="download">download</m:a> page.

		</p>

		<p>

			Releases for discussion and verification of the format and API design.

		</p>

		<h3>Data types</h3>

		<ul>

			<li>arrays/streams of bytes (octets)</li>

			<li>arrays of other types</li>

			<li>arrays of other types with support for NULL values</li>

			<li>nested relations</li>

			<li>date and time</li>

			<li>variable integer (probably LEB128 or similar)</li>

			<li>decimal numbers</li>

			<li>support NULL values (introduce bitmaps)</li>

			<li>support long strings (chunked, similar to octet streams)</li>

			<li>fixed size integers</li>

			<li>precise BigDecimal</li>

			<li>fractions</li>

			<li>string in UTF-16</li>

			<li>string in ASCII</li>

			<li>string in ISO 8859-1</li>

			<li>string in ISO 8859-2</li>

		</ul>

		<h3>Inputs</h3>

		<p>Probably no new ones before v1.0.0.</p>

		<h3>Transformations</h3>

		<ul>

			<li>SQL: sqlite</li>

		</ul>

		<h3>Outputs</h3>

		<p>Probably no new ones before v1.0.0.</p>

		<h3>Other tasks</h3>

		<ul>

			<li>pkg-config: version numbers, debug vs. release</li>

			<li>automated complex tests (specification vs. implementation compliance)</li>

			<li>verify the format from the performance point of view</li>

			<li>packaging for Guix SD and .deb and .rpm distributions, Snapcraft, Flatpak etc.</li>

		</ul>

		<h2>v1.0</h2>

		<p>

			First version for production use. 

			Brings no new features, just stabilized result of previous development.

			Stable must be:

		</p>

		<ul>

			<li>format specification</li>

			<li>relpipe-lib-writer</li>

			<li>relpipe-lib-reader</li>

			<li>relpipe-in-cli</li>

			<li>relpipe-out-tabular</li>

			<li>relpipe-in-xml</li>

			<li>relpipe-out-xml</li>

			<li>relpipe-in-csv</li>

			<li>relpipe-out-csv</li>

			<li>relpipe-out-ods</li>

		</ul>

		<p>

			Other parts might be released as stable later.

		</p>

		<p>

			After this point, all components (the format specification, particular libraries and particular tools) 

			will be versioned independently and the compatibility matrix will be maintained.

		</p>
