- Version 0.5 Scope: Comprehensive verification and testing of compiled documentation portals, sanitization of internal development metadata, and final deployment quality assurance.
- Version 0.4 Scope: Comprehensive design, planning, and deployment of the hybrid online documentation portal (Flude Portal), including the GHA CI/CD publication workflow (Flude Publisher).
- Version 0.3 Scope: Active core implementation of Python-based Flude prototype according to TDD methodologies (Weeks 1 to 5).
- Version 0.2 Scope: Granular scheduling of 12 TDD tasks across 5 weeks, preparing executable development task specifications, and updating Docusaurus navigation layouts.
- Version 0.1 Scope: Gathering high-level business goals (BRD), defining system functional/non-functional constraints (SRS), drafting the pipeline design (SDD), and mapping out the implementation schedule.
Release Planning Summary
To guarantee a fast, stable, and highly predictable development process, the implementation of Flude is structured into two main releases:
- MVP (v1.0) Release Plan: Focuses on core parsing, AST extraction, CommonMark rendering, push-gating, and complete local execution.
- Future Releases (v2.0+): Introduces AI translation workflows, asynchronous translation lifecycle status databases, XLIFF import/export subcommands, and tree-sitter direct code parsers.
