This page outlines the features being planned for the next CPP (commonly referred to as Native) SCA release.

The next release (M4) is targeted for (September?) 2007, this follows on from the M3 release in May 2007.

Documentation enhancements
- Architecture
- Getting started guide
- User Docs
- Tuscany Ant build guide (new)

SDO usage
- TuscanySCA Native should use SDO according to the SDO 2.1 specification.

Unit test Suite
- The current test suite is not maintained and should be discarded.
- Need to work out a testing framework. Can we write it in CxxTest (which is GPL), but not distribute CxxTest?

Rearchitect Data Model usage
- Currently the runtime is very tightly coupled with the service data model structure. This forces the runtime/extensions to have an in-depth knowledge of the data model, and any changes to the data model must be reflected everywhere in the runtime. It would be much more usable if after loading the SCA services into a data model (which could still be accessible if necessary), that information was then stored in a generic structure, thus decoupling the runtime/extensions from the internal data model.

Fix select open JIRA's
- Currently there are 20 open JIRA's, an analysis should be performed to decide which are important for the next release.
  - Personally, I think JIRA 817 should be fixed "Memory leak, data passed through Operation objects is never freed" https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-817

Samples (nice to have)
- Currently its quite messy to get the samples running, I had to compile most of the dependencies. It would be nice to clean this up.
