This is a living (always draft) roadmap. All points are subject to delivery by interested parties and may be changed or reprioritised without notice.
Closed and tagged on 4 January 2012.
A new autoloader was implemented and some classes where renamed to use it. Original classes have been retained but will be deprecated in 12.3.
- JRule renamed to JAccessRule.
- JRules renamed to JAccessRules.
- JCli renamed to JApplicationCli.
- JWeb renamed to JApplicationWeb.
- All class members of JFTP except JFTP::$instances are now private.
- JError::$_error is now protected.
- JRequest::_cleanArray() has been removed.
- JArchiveGzip:: $_flags and JArchiveGzip:: $_data are now private.
- JArchiveTar:: $_types, JArchiveTar:: $_flags, JArchiveTar:: $_data and JArchiveTar:: $_metadata are now private.
- JArchiveZip:: $_methods, JArchiveZip:: $_ctrlDirHeader, JArchiveZip:: $_ctrlDirEnd, JArchiveZip:: $_fileHeader and JArchiveZip:: $_data are now private.
- JSimpleXML:: $_parser, JSimpleXML:: $_xml and JSimpleXML:: $_stack are now private.
- In JComponentHelper::renderComponent the execution of the component is moved to the new function JComponentHelper::executeComponent. A component cannot change or use any of the (internal) variables of renderComponent that might be used by the function later on, like $task or $option.
- The "onPrepareUserProfileData" event has been removed. Listen for the "onContentPrepareData" with a context of "com_users.profile" instead.

- Provision of a device independent web services layer.
