Now that we have 2.0.9 out the door, we are starting to focus on the new 2.2 series. We are doing some interesting thing in the development branch. From the user’s perspective, we are:

• Adding Repositories
• Allowing Events to be shared
• Looking into a Map view
• Improving the user interface
• And many more things…

I’ve posted a few screenshots (everyone likes screenshots, right?) to the developer’s site.

From the developer’s perspective, we are making some interesting architectural changes, including:

• Moving to a cleaner, plugin system for views that communicate through a cleaner interface
• Enhancing the database schema for faster performance of searches
• Removing dependencies on older GNOME libraries, which should make it easier to port to other platforms
• Adding atomic commits for greater reliability
• And more stuff to come…
