While 5.x has many new features and advances there remain a number of outstanding issues tagged with the "For Feature Parity" label in Github such as the orientation viewer. Subject to the availability of sufficient resources, release 5.1 will also begin work on a number of much needed infrastructure refactoring work such as pulling out the data loader, cleaning up the slicer code base while adding features, refactoring the plotting desig, and separating out the GUI package from the calculation package; add new scattering calculators to the generic scattering calculator; and add improved functionality to the P(R) perspective. Work will continue on an advanced data fitting with SasView tutorial. On the documentation and community development fronts, work will continue to expand and diversify the contributor community, several new tutorials, both written and video, will be started, and the SasView paper will be submitted.

Work should begin on new fitting functionality such as allowing for the reading in of an array representing either P(Q) or S(Q) for P*S and fitting oriented models to 1D slices, etc.; adding PRISM[^9] (polymer reference interaction site model), McSAS and FFSAS (providing users with better approaches for obtaining particle size distributions) fitting modules. New real-space to Fourier-space calculators may continue to be added to the general scattering calculator and some new tools for multimodal analysis may begin to show up in this release as well. Final separation of the GUI package from the calculation package should be completed with this release. Use cases and design development will commence on a web interface (possibly including smartphone app capabilities). Meanwhile, tutorial and community development efforts will continue while an effort will be made to develop sustainable plans for documentation maintenance and development writ large.

In particular, the new fitting functionality such as allowing for the reading in of an array representing either P(Q) or S(Q) for P*S, fitting oriented models to 1D slices, PRISM, etc. should be ready for this release along with some more advanced resolution calculation options, while continuing work on a web app, allowing computational code to run on a cluster with an intelligent launcher/scheduler for the GUI frontend which will make the use of the a cluster backend transparent to the user, data pipelining etc as well starting work on providing intelligent feedback. However, while the web UI and remote job operation work will continue, is not expected to be ready for this release.

It will also allow deployment as a webservice with a web based front end which will have limited functionality in this first instance. Integration of SasView into a realtime analysis workflow on actual beamlines should now be possible. The use of wizards and intelligent user guidance will be expanded and new workflows/interfaces may be added as appropriate. Meanwhile, tutorial and community development efforts will continue and documentation tasks as envisoned in the documentation strategy exercices will be worked on.
