=== Packages ===
 
Tabledata now has writer modules, BuildTable, Microsoft Excel support, JSON, join/select/project
 
SQL package now uses SQLAlchemy. COMPATIBILITY: not compatible, because now returns a Table.
 
GMaps package
 
RemoteQ package
 
HTTPDirectory, SSHDownloader, URLEncode, URLDecode, Cross, StringFormat, ReadFile
 
=== Improved module/parameter/widget configuration APIs ===

=== Don't leak temporary files ===
 
=== Suspending modules and the job monitor ===
 
=== Package upgrades get chained ===
 
=== Automatic loops and streaming ===


==== Bundles [needs work] ====
???
Fixed and updated the bundle installation system. It allows to automatically install required Python packages when they are first imported without restarting VisTrails or entering commands.


Supports the 'pip' installer (on both UNIX and Windows), apt (through Python binding) and Fedora (with yum -- '''binding currently broken, only uses cmd''')
=== Keeps input/output port of unconnected port when ungrouping ===


=== Packages ===
=== Allows reloading a disabled package ===


==== controlflow [ready, needs more documentation] ====
=== Export cells in different formats ===
* Added some modules: Default, Sum, And, Or
* Added module While (backported to v2.0)
* Fold split into Fold and FoldWithModule
* Fixed product modules, now have ElementwiseProduct, Dot and Cross


==== (new) parallelflow [ready, documented] ====
=== Exporting version tree to graphviz DOT format ===
Provides a way to execute modules or groups on an IPython cluster, via a Map module. Also has IPython UI to set it up, and an API to use IPython in other modules.


Documented in the users' guide. First implemented in Oct, 2012 by Fernando.
=== Control parameters ===


Note that it becomes obsolete with multithreaded-interpreter although a lot of code was reused.
???


Could benefit from the 'spawn-vistrails' effort.
=== Debugger for code or package issues ===


==== (new) tabledata [ready, undocumented] ====
=== Output modules ===
A package allowing to load CSV files and NumPy arrays, to display them as a table and to convert between datatypes.


==== (new) BatchQ-PBS ("JobSubmission") [work in progress, undocumented] ====
???
Task submitting package using [https://github.com/troelsfr/BatchQ BatchQ].


Still work in progress.
=== Module Parmeter Widgets ===

This is a list of work-in-progress or unreleased features. See also the list of development branches.*

Features not on v2.1 branch

These features are on master but not on the v2.1 branch. (v2.1..master)

Packages

Tabledata now has writer modules, BuildTable, Microsoft Excel support, JSON, join/select/project

SQL package now uses SQLAlchemy. COMPATIBILITY: not compatible, because now returns a Table.

GMaps package

RemoteQ package

HTTPDirectory, SSHDownloader, URLEncode, URLDecode, Cross, StringFormat, ReadFile

Improved module/parameter/widget configuration APIs

rename-api, ???

Allows default values to be set by Python value

Associate with .vt and .vtl files on Linux

Schema and migrations for startup.xlm

Don't leak temporary files

Suspending modules and the job monitor

Package upgrades get chained

Automatic loops and streaming

???

Keeps input/output port of unconnected port when ungrouping

Allows reloading a disabled package

Export cells in different formats

Exporting version tree to graphviz DOT format

Control parameters

???

Debugger for code or package issues

Output modules

???

Module Parmeter Widgets

Other features

These features are not on master yet but rather on different branches. (--branches --not master)

Core

Parallel execution [work in progress, documented]

(branches: multithreaded-interpreter, multithreaded-interpreter-target-seletion)

Changes to the interpreter allowing the parallel execution of modules in a pipeline.

This is opt-in for modules and thus doesn't break modules that use thread-unsafe code. Supports threads, multiprocessing and IPython clusters.

Replaces parallelflow.

New subworkflows (design phase)
