What's next?

As mentioned above, not all items from the 1.0.0 roadmap were
completed. One of the most often requested features is still in the
pipeline: Network support. This is because implementing this feature
properly is somewhat difficult, because we do not want a KDE or GNOME
like solution here, but a working(!) solution, transparent to all
applications, not only a few applications using KIO or gnome-vfs.

This feature will arrive with the 1.0.0 release, which is planned for
August 2007.
