RedBeanPHP Roadmap

Where is RedBeanPHP going to? This is a roadmap the describes the RedBeanPHP release schedule. The next version of RedBeanPHP will be version 2.0. With each product increment we will add some new exciting features. I like to keep the exact nature of the features secret. However every major new version will include at least one new feature and I will announce this feature long before the next version gets released.

  • RedBeanPHP 2.0 Beta 1 SneakPreview- May 2011
  • RedBeanPHP 2.0 Beta 2 - June 2011
  • RedBeanPHP 2.0 Final - August 2011
  • RedBeanPHP 2.1 - October 2011
  • RedBeanPHP 2.2 - December 2011
  • RedBeanPHP 2.3 - March 2012

Keep in mind that these dates are estimates, however I will try to stick to the schedule. Feel free to add feature requests on https://github.com/gabordemooij/redbean/issues. Note that the legacy editions will be released a week or two after their 'regular' counterparts.

What is likely to happen?

  • Making the library more lightweight again
  • Removing deprecated code (Changelogger)
  • Removing RedBean_Finder, integrate it in OODB instead
  • Features to make RedBean even easier
  • Ditch Gold SQL (looks like it's not being used that much after all)

Unlikely..

  • Support for Microsoft databases like MSSQL
  • Support for MongoDB or CouchDB
  • Support for N:1 or 1:N relations
  • Nesting beans in other beans

Things I won't do

  • I won't add support for FoxPro, Access or stuff like that
  • Port RedBeanPHP to programming language X or Y
  • Add support for MySQLi or PHP default MySQL driver (not PDO)
  • Add database specific features
