Project:Timeline
NOTE: BOARD18 Development History has been moved to a separate page.
Mid Term
Summer 2014
Will continue to maintain the release 0.3 line if and when bugs are found.
Release 0.4.0 (see below) will be the next minor release.
Release 0.5.0 (see below) will be the following minor release.
Release 1.0.0 (see below) will be the next major release.
I am in the process of creating more game boxes for BOARD18 and have created some ease of use enhancements for new game box creation.
I have also created Token and Tile Libraries that contain properly sized tokens and tiles for BOARD18 game boxes.
October, 2014
On October 23, I published release 0.4.0 of BOARD18. This release is upward compatible with release 0.3.x.
This release was to contain only one enhancement (Issue 29) which removed the automatic resizing of tokens and tiles on maps and stock charts from BOARD18. This change required new versions of a number of the earliest created game boxes. These new versions have been created as part of this release.
More information on this issue is available by clicking on the issue number.
Release 0.4.0 also contains the periodic screen refresh that was to be part of release 0.5.0 and some minor changes to the logon on screen.
December, 2014
I intend to publish release 0.5.0 of BOARD18. This release will be upward compatible with release 0.4.x.
This release will probably contain the following enhancements:
- Issue 33 - Support map hexes in both orientations.
- Issue 21 - Allow players to view games that they are not playing.
More information on these issues is available by clicking on the issue number.
Long Term
First Quarter 2015
I intend to publish release [1.0.0] and load it to a new demo site.
This release may not be compatible with release 0.x.x.
This release will likely address most of the following enhancement requests as well as other enhancements to be determined:
- Issue 34 - Make all database changes to support items below.
- Issue 20 - Associated spreadsheet and/or log file URL.
- Issue 31 - Game over enhancement.
- Issue 27 - Create "Admin" player type for site administrative functions.
More information on these issues is available by clicking on the issue number.

- Issue 30 - Investigate Google open API for authentication.
