The plan

This page is a list of what I intend to have in SWIFT, and what I already do have.

Roadmap:
Alpha 2:

  • OS ports: Full installers for RPM-based Linux, OSX and Windows. Maybe BSD etc. too?
  • Basic draw tools done; can be used as 2d animation software
  • HTML5 optimization

Beta:

  • Change default flash player from Gnash to Lightspark (for ActionScript 3 support)
  • Timeline functions done
  • Scripting tools (syntax highlighter/checker)
  • HTML5 Actionscript wrapper complete (ignoring unwrappable classes such as Microphone)
  • Full tool set done
  • Possibly change drawing backend for cross-platform compatibility and speed. Clutter? Tkinter? Not sure.
  • Raster image editor done.
Release:
  • Stability
