Roadmap

This document outlines what features can be expected to change before jade gets to 1.0.0 (i.e. stability).

For discussion

Serialization of data-attributes, should it really do JSON.stringify (#1062 #1075)
How should the special cased attributes attribute work, can we do better (#664 #1000 #1152)
Consider defaults for debug mode (#1098)

0.36.0

Ability to specify per-filter options (#949)
Allow passing a terse option when rendering fragments (#1180)

1.0.0

Remove special casing of script and style (this has already been deprecated)
Remove automatic filtering of includes (to be replaced by an explicit "include + filter" syntax) (#888)
Add an inline tag syntax, something like here is an inline #[a(href='/destination') link] within some text (#936)
Stop parsing contents of comments and make unbuffered comments work anywhere (#931 #487 #1135 #1134 #1178)
Drop support for internet explorer 8 and older
Make compiling client templates a separate function

Future

Child templates with contents should throw an error (#870)
Better errors for incorrectly named blocks in extending templates (#885)
Provide API for exposing dependency graph of jade files for dynamic recompilation (#957)
Error when the same block appears multiple times in a file (#1009)
Runtime filters so that interpolation is an option, this is up for debate (#1146)
