Fossil 2.0 is currently just an idea. No code has been written.
Core Principles:
100% repository compatible. Reuse existing repos (perhaps with "rebuild")
100% sync compatible. Push, pull, and clone with version 1.x repos.
Web Interface Enhancements:
Refactor to a small, sensible, well-defined and well-document set of CSS classes that are easy to configure.
OK to break existing skins.
Push toward being closer to RESTful
Strive for basic operation w/o javascript, though clearly javascript is allowed when necessary. (Javascript draws the timeline graph for example.) This principle does not change from 1.x.
Command-line Interface:
- "fossil mv" and "fossil rm" actually rename and delete the underlying files.
Implementation Strategy:
Make changes in a long-running branch (named "fossil-2.0"?) until ready to cut-over, then merge into trunk.
Keep two versions of Fossil (1.x and 2.0-alpha) both running on https://www.fossil-scm.org/ so that people can compare the changes to the web-interface easily.
Provide a place to download pre-compiled binaries of 2.0-alpha.
