greenMonitor™ Version 1.00.08 Roadmap

The following items are in plan for the upcoming Version 1.00.08 release. You may review the Version 1.00.07 plan to see which features made that product level here.

We are currently examining which features are still required by our customers before updating this page to indicate which items will be moved to the 1.00.09 release.  The 1.00.09 release will be used to complete those functions which were planned for 1.00.08, but not implemented.  There are no other new work items planned for that release.  The 1.00.09 release is planned for Summer 2010.

The next major release which will contain new functionality is 2.01.00, which is planned for Fall 2010.  The emphasis of that release will be adding environmental sensors, increased use of web services to display component information, and better support for large scale monitoring for installers.
