This is a rough guess of what the next few iRoster releases will look like.
1.0b5 will be made available within the next week. Apart from the normal bug fixes the main reason for the release will be to improve the documentation and to add lots of example Apple Scripts and perhaps a few new service templates.
1.0b6 will be a UI tidy up. The two tables within the preferences dialog will be organised better and possibly broken up into multiple UI elements.
1.0b7 will add a few new options for displaying the Net Services menu.
1.0 final?
1.1 The next non-beta version will include a two tools for finding services on your network without having to know the Rendezvous type code.
1.2 “Trigger” scripts: iRoster would be able to advertise Rendezvous services based on the results of AppleScripts. For example an AppleScript would detect that you’re running QuickTime broadcaster and automatically advertise a service for the QuickTime stream. I’ll also be adding in code to allow iRoster to be scripted (e.g. “tell application ‘iRoster’ to advertise service ‘my service’”).
1.3 This release will see the advertising code from iRoster isolated and packaged as a background daemon. iRoster will look and feel the same but will be able to advertise services even if iRoster isn’t running or even if the user isn’t logged in!
