phpCAS Roadmap

Right now the plan is to do a push for real php5 code (object orientation, singletons etc). The problem is that phpCAS requires a major overhaul since the client only is already a monolithic 2800 lines monster that gets worse every day. This is a lot of work and since there is a lack of developers we are planning a 3-stage transition to get the job done. The first stage was a 1.2.x version that will drop php4 support and include some of the features already in the queue. As a second step we will have more minor 1.x  versions as we improve/rewrite parts of the client. The third stage 2.x will be a restructuring and rewrite of large parts of the client and an major api change.
