W3C Lib

Working Plan W3C Reference Library

This is the current work plan for new features and changed interfaces for the W3C Referene Library.

Initial Plan for Next release NEW

Memory Resource Handler
The Library needs a mechanism to allow to get around situations when memory is exhausted.
Better debug and trace messages facilities
Currently all debug messages are included in all versions of the Library. In order to distinguish between debug versions and release versions, the debug messages should only be included in the debug version.
Experimenting with HTTP protocol implementations including HTTP/1.x, PEP and HTTP-NG
An important part of the W3C software is to provide reference implementations of the Web protocols. The next release will provide important new features in this area.
Integration with ILU from Xerox Parc
Integrating ILU and libwww is part of the experiments with HTTP-NG and it also allows for better integration between various programming languages.
