\startsubject[title={Introduction}]
There is not really a long term roadmap for development. One reason is that there
is already a lot available. When we started with \LUATEX, the \CONTEXT\ code was
mostly rewritten from \MKII\ to \MKIV, and that process is more of less finished.
Of course there is always work left. We have moved on to \LUAMETATEX\ and \LMTX\
as follow up on \MKIV. Deep down some things might (and will) change but the user
interface will stay the same (as usual).
This file is not a complete overview of our plans but users can at least get an
idea of what we're working on and what is coming. Feel free to submit
suggestions.

\startsubject[title={On the agenda for \LUAMETATEX}]
The agenda for \LUATEX\ is basically empty as this program is (supposed to be)
frozen, but for \LUAMETATEX\ we can still consider improvements. In fact, there
are quite some changes between the engines already (internally). Items that
concern \LUATEX\ have been removed from the agenda but some improvements in
\LUAMETATEX\ might trickle back.
\startitemize
\startitem
cleanup passive nodes in the par builder
\stopitem
\startitem
optimize some callback resolution (more direct) but there is not that
much to gain there
\stopitem
\startitem
remove local par in head of line when done with linebreak and maybe also
ensure leftskip and rightskip
\stopitem
\startitem
only return nil in lua helpers when we expect multiple calls in in one
line
\stopitem
\startitem
experiment a bit more with the new protrusion code
\stopitem

\startsubject[title={On the agenda for \CONTEXT\ \MKIV}]
\startitemize
\startitem
play with par callback and properties
\stopitem
\startitem
optimize positions for columnareas and parpos (sequential)
\stopitem
\startitem
add flag to font for math engine
\stopitem
\startitem
get rid of components in glyph nodes
\stopitem
\startitem
play with box attributes
\stopitem
\startitem
check consistency between footnotes and running text (main color,
styles, properties)
\stopitem
\startitem
freeze actions and tasks (by name or function), maybe a register
function that does that so no one can overload built-in features
\startitem
redo some of the spacing (adapt to improvements in engine)
\stopitem
\startitem
more node and code injections
\stopitem
\startitem
maybe reorganize position data (more subtables)
\stopitem
\startitem
use \type {\matheqnogapstep}, \type {\Ustack}, \type {\mathscriptsmode},
\type {\mathdisplayskipmode} and other new math primitives
\stopitem
\startitem
cleanup some lua helpers (io.exists vs lfs.isfile)
