Roadmap for Ginga

This is a roadmap for Ginga development, which lays out the long-term plans for this package.

Note: As a caveat, this is a living document, and will evolve as priorities grow and shift.

Last updated: May 2019

Short-Term Goals

Things that might happen in the next release or two:

  • Dropping Python 2 support (bug fixes to 2.x.y branches until end of 2019).
  • Support ASDF and GWCS.

Mid-Term Goals

Things that might happen in 1-1.5 years:

  • Improve vector types support (e.g., efficient rendering of many objects of a single type).

Long-Term Goals

Things that are nice to have but do not have a specific implementation timeline:

  • Complete documentation overhaul with more user-friendly examples.
  • Out-of-memory big data support.
  • Better remote interface to reference viewer.

Completed Goals

Goals that were completed, in reverse chronological order:

  • Last major release that is compatible with Python 2 (time frame: late 2018). Beginning with v3.x.y, Ginga will be Python 3 compatible only.
  • Convert main to be Python 3.5-compatible (and above) only (time frame: early 2019).
  • Python 3.7 support.
