ActionStep development started in April 2005. Since that time we have made significant progress. The goal is to implement as much of the OpenStep component model as makes sense for Flash and reach a 1.0 status by the late fall of 2005. To support this, monthly releases will start beginning at the end of August 2005.
So, in summary, the roadmap is:
| Item | Date |
|---|---|
| ActionStep project begins | April 2005 |
| Presentation at OSCON | August 1-5, 2005 |
| Release Alpha 1 | December 1st, 2005 |
| Release Beta 1 | January 31st, 2005 |
| Release 1.0 | February 31st, 2005 |
The core classes are in place, but there is still work to be done on each class. Currently there are components that are complete enough to use, and many that are not. For a list of components and their status please see the ActionStep Foundational Elements. As we write up tutorials we are going to host them on the Getting quick and dirty with ActionStep page. This page will be updated as the timelines (above) are firmed up.
