Roadmap
-------

  - uim 1.4.0

   Release for internal improvement. No user-visible changes other
   than resource consumption reduction. This release plan will not be
   deferred anymore.

   The non-standard-conformant Scheme interpreter of libuim will be
   replaced with newly developed SigScheme to make a room for next
   leap.


  - uim 1.5.0

   Release for internal simplification. No user-visible changes.

   The complicated C part of uim which prevents extensions, design
   improvements and automated input method tests will be turned into
   Scheme codes or optimized out.


  - uim 1.6.0 and later

   The time for drastic reconstruction. Many user-visible changes.

   The composer framework will be introduced for extensible IM
   development.
