Shoes Roadmap

Okay, so here's what's going on with Shoes:

3.1

  • Get Shoes to build and work properly with Ruby 1.9.2.

4.0

Undecided features

These are features that have been requested, but haven't been put into a specific release yet.

This list is large right now, because many of them may go away during the transition to The Future of Shoes. We'll reevaluate then.

  • An 'upload' method to go along with 'download'
  • Let people change the text of buttons, via text=.
  • Allow text to have alpha, it just ignores it right now
  • DeadKeys support
  • Properly document building a standalone app. Currently, only Hackety Hack exists...
  • adding a Shoes app to the system tray
  • Shoes apps giving system notifications, a-la dbus or growl
  • Shoes apps should have access to keypresses made outside of the app, like "Bring my app to the front."
  • Some way to programmatically minimize a window
  • edit_box should respect :font, but doens't.
  • shoes and gems with native extensions
