Roadmap


These are our plans and best intentions at the time of writing (Aug 2010), but plans changes according to market demands and customer wishes, so no promises are made!

RW Net 2 / RW NetServer 3

Both of these products are mature and will generally only receive minor updates based on customer wishes, bug corrections and other minor updates.

For RW NetServer 3 some, new functionality is planned.

We shall keep maintaining and supporting these for a long time, also after the release of:

RW Net 4

We have a long list of improvements that we want to add to the core engine, but these are difficult to add without breaking compatibility with previous versions, so we are developing a new version. Focus is on:
  • Better developer experience (more OOP)
  • Improved flexibility
  • Improved .NET support (Compact Framework and Mono for instance)
  • Full unicode support
  • Faster spatial searches
  • Overall calculation speed
  • Complex turn restrictions
  • Automatic identification of left/right turns
  • Travelling salesman optimization with support for curb approach
  • Travelling salesman optimization with timewindows
  • Etc.
RW Net 4 will support these platforms: Delphi 2009+ VCL, .NET, .NET CF and OCX.

Customers with an active RW Net Pro license can request access to the beta version.

Latest beta 6 is from 30-8-2010. Release in Sep 2010 should be realistic.

First release will only contain the core features and not all platforms.
Remaining features and platforms will be included step by step.

RW NetServer 4

This will be based upon RW Net 4, but how the API will look, has to be decided.
