Roadmap

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

In general, development resources are prioritized based on customer requirements.   Full GUI support for all operating systems requires three milestones, which will be implemented in order below.

1.Enhance framework to allow for real-time updates of long-running widgets (such as secure erase, or I/O testing, which may take hours or days to complete) so the widgets can be targeted to any host running remote agent.
2.Port remote-agent code to UNIX/LINUX hosts.
3.Port embedded web server to UNIX/LINUX operating system.

 

Localization

As of version 1.13, no full native language translations have been made.
