Here we list the features and improvements planned for KnowWE and the d3web-core, linked to the upcoming releases. The lists for the upcoming release can change, so no guaranties here!
!Release 11, Watney, July 2016 - Current release, out now!
At line 7 changed one line
!Service Release 9 (June 2014) - Out now!
* __TimeDB TestCases__: Using the TimeDB plugin, it is now possible to test the behavior of the knowledge base when setting values in the past (relative to the current time of the session).
* __Code improvements__: Major refactorings, cleanup and modernizations
** Reimplementation and modernization of test case interfaces and xml persistence. Much improved functionality, allows extensions, and is backwards compatible.
** Cleaned source code of old verbose Java pre-1.8. statements and modernized it with up to date 1.8 syntax and utils.
* __New checks for TestCases:__
** Check any property of terminology objects used in the test
** Check the amount of solutions with a given state.
* __KnowWE SemanticCore__: Major overhaul, now uses denkbares-SemanticCore
** Removed outdated Rdf2Go dependencies
** Instead, direct integration of Sesame/RDF4J
** New Jena plugin
** New GraphDB-Free plugin (optional download)
** New SPARQL auto format/prettify (soon to come to other markups as well)
* __Improvements to DiaFlux Editor__
** Adaptive toolbar
** Editor and menu styling
* __Tool Menus__: Markup tool menues can no longer be hidden below lower end of the browser window
* __Attachment markup__
** Allows to keep attachments up to date with a remote source url and update interval.
** Allows to download articles and parts of articles of other KnowWE installations as attachments. These attachments can also be compiled and rendered via Include markup.
* __AttributeTable__: Now supports negated answers (!= Answer-X) and Unknown in condition columns.
* __Debugger__: Added simple debugger for TimeDB Javascript functions
* __Table Editor__: When activating the table editor with edit mode, the scroll position of the clicked cell is restored in the table editor. The editable cell is also selected.
At line 10 changed 4 lines
* __Compiler Refactoring__: Deep refactoring, modernization and acceleration of the compiler architecture of KnowWE.
* __Extension of the Rules-Markup__: Currently rules in KnowWE can only be defined in the following way: IF condition THEN action [[EXCEPT condition]. We want to extend the functionality and also allow the usage of ELSE and UNKNOWN.
* __Extension of TestCase XML__: Currently TestCases exported to the STC-XML-format only allow simple checks/assertions. We want to extend it to allow the same checks as the TestCaseTable in KnowWE.
* __Overhaul of Object Info__: KnowWE gets a replacement for its current Object Info Page. A fast and clean dialog that no longer requires to leave the page!

* __Rule improvements__:

** __New CI Tests__: CyclicFlowchart, InformationGain, InterviewLength, AmbiguousEdge and DuplicatePath
** __CI Test groups__: Using the annotation @group allows to group a set of CI tests together in the CI dashboard
* __Rule Improvements__:

** __TimeDB action compatibility__: Improved support for assigning eval expressions to choice questions.

* __Ignore out-of-range values__: The TestCasePlayer, Continuous Integration dashboard and Testing App now allow to skip values that are outside the defined ranges of the questions, using a simple annotation or parameter.

At line 31 changed one line
* __Tooltip improvements__: Hovering over questions and solutions during usage or debugging of knowledge bases shows the value of the object in the current problem solving session. We want to improve these tooltips and also make them available in flowchart edges and formulas.
* __TimeZone-Support for Date Questions__: It is now possible to assign dates to date questions with respect to specified time zones. Also, time zones can be set as the unit for date questions, resulting in these questions date values to be displayed in that time zone.
At line 33 changed one line
* __Icon cleanup__: KnowWE now uses the [Font-Awesome|http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/] icon set to get a more consistent visual look.

* __Migration to JSPWiki 2.10__: Since the end of 2012, JSPWiki is a Apache Project. We plan to migrate KnowWE to the new incubation releases. Since there are a lot of internal changes in JSPWiki, the process will likely be non-trivial.
* __Migration to Java 8__: The next version of KnowWE will be developed for Java 8, to be able to use all its nice new features for developers. For compatibility reasons, the d3web-core will stay Java 6 for a while.
* __Compatibility for Tomcat 7 and 8: The last versions of KnowWE only supported Tomcat up to version 6. With the next version, we also support version 7 and 8.
* __Significantly reduced Memory Footprint__: For many large wikis, the memory footprint should be reduced by around 20% because of internal optimizations.
* __Migration to JSPWiki 2.10__: Since the end of 2012, JSPWiki is a Apache Project and got several new releases. Since there are a lot of internal changes in JSPWiki, the migration was non-trivial. Instead of JSPWiki 2.8.4, KnowWE now uses 2.10.
* __Migration to Java 8__: To be able to use all the nice new features for developers, KnowWE is now running on Java 8. For compatibility reasons, the d3web-core will stay Java 6 for a while.
* __Compatibility for Tomcat 7 and 8__: The last versions of KnowWE only supported Tomcat up to version 6. With the next version, we also support version 7 and 8 (until 8.0.9).
