With http://lists.meego.com/pipermail/meego-dev/2011-June/483406.html Maliit declared itself as an independent project. To strengthen the position of Maliit, we decided to go with a proper rebranding. This involves cleaning up old Harmattan/MeeGo Touch cruft in source code, installation paths, GConf keys, etc.

Submit your ideas in Ideas page to get considered to be put into the roadmap.

Contents

MeeGo 1.3

Development in in progress.

MeeGo 1.3 will have Maliit 1.0.

  • New package-names (DONE)
  • Settings applet for meego-ux-settings
  • Better integration with standard applications

Maliit 1.0

Development in progress.

With Maliit 1.0 the goal is long-term API stability for application and input method plugin API.

  • 0.2x: Still uses MeeGo Touch.
  • 0.8x: Compiles MeeGo Touch free version by default, has legacy build option. (DONE)
    • Maliit now an independent project.
    • Installation paths, library names and GConf keys now follow new Maliit naming conventions.
    • Legacy LMT build can be done using qmake CONFIG+=nomeegotouch (works in -framework and -plugins repo).
    • No API changes in plugin or application API! New library structure will require recompilation though.
  • 0.9x: Alpha release that will lead up to Maliit 1.0
    • Will contain API cleanups (not LMT related, but rather about removing cruft and cleanup).
    • API cleanup should be done for all Maliit libraries (including engines and feedback API).
    • In first release for the 0.9x series, the C++ based reference VKB (Maliit Keyboard) will be LMT-free.
  • 1.0: Stable release

Framework

  • Use D-Bus datatype instead of serialized Qt types in D-Bus API (DONE)
  • Support for non X11 platform
  • Better support for Qt applications not linked to MeeGo Touch
    • Orientation change
  • Unified, UI independent, settings API
    • Probably even hide the framework's GConf usage behind some API that can be used by apps and plugins.

MeeGo Keyboard

  • Key magnification and accent pop-ups (DONE)
  • New word prediction widgets: Word Ribbon (DONE)
  • Extended support for CJK languages
  • Remove libmeegotouch dependency

MeeGo 1.2

All items in this section are DONE.

Framework

  • private D-Bus connection
  • new information exposures:
    • anchor position
    • cursor position
  • libmeegotouch removal
  • self-compositing
  • self-rotation animation

Engine framework

  • New interface: Handwriting recognition
  • New functionality: Dynamic virtual keyboard layout
