The following is the first draft of proposed 4NT / Take Command 7.0
features. Not all of the features listed will be implemented, and
there will be others added during the development process.
----------------
The new versions will definitely drop Win9x support!
----------------
P = Priority (1=low, 10=high)
D = Difficulty (1=low, 10=high)
Priority is a combination of the number of requests for the feature
(from different users, not repeated requests from the same user!) and
my judgement of the overall usefulness. Difficulty is the work involved
in implementing the feature. (Users don't care about how difficult a
feature is to code, but the fact is that very difficult features need
a very high priority to have a chance of being implementated!)
