Current plans

Increasingly tentative as time goes on:

  1. Upgrade to shadow R 2.14.1.
  2. Further work to reduce the overheads of reference-counted garbage collection.
  3. Refactor error handling, and remove the need for code called via .C or .Fortran etc. to be compiled with -fexceptions. Fix the known bug regarding quitting the debugger.
  4. Reengineer serialisation/deserialisation, with a view to making it easier to introduce new node classes, and to pave the way for incorporating provenance tracking into the development trunk. This will build on work by Chris Silles.
  5. Port to Microsoft Windows (32-bit initially).
  6. Improve autoconf set-up.
