Roadmap listed below includes major, but not all, milestones. See above link for further detail.
0.7 Current Version
0.8 August 30th
This release will focus on potential API changes in the core, which means fixing things that use the core (e.g., plugins) with a view to shaking out any changes that need to happen to the core in order to support them. This will include a rework of our player plugins (e.g., youtube), helper methods for media attributes, a new custom UI API for extending/replacing the video controls, etc.
0.9 week of September 26th
- API Freeze

- Features for 1.0 Release
- Modules
- Modules
Modules differ from plugins, by adding functionality to the core of Popcorn.js that can be shared by other Popcorn.js plug-ins.
- Envelope Module
- Envelope Module
Envelopes provide a control-point property control over time: such as reducing/fading the volume of a video while popcorn.js loads some audio commentary.
- Transitions Plugin
- Transitions Plugin
Transitions use the Envelope Module to create classic transitions like, fadeIn, fadeOut, fadeThroughWhite etc.
We will ship Popcorn.js 1.0 in the first week of November, launching at the Mozilla Festival (Mozilla Festival — Media, Freedom and the Web London UK, November 4 - 6, 2011). This release will be focused on bug fixes, and end-user facing features like documentation, packaging, the web site, and other things needed in order to find, get, and use Popcorn.js.
