To-do list

Planned for 0.10

• Just-in-time library loading: lazy loading libraries as necessary
• Try to reduce the number of dependancies necessary to start and be able to use base functions
• Add accumulating erosion model to prevent original heightmap from being modified
• Add overflow flag to models where maps could be seamless to help 'overflow'.
• Rivers can flow through edges of maps, overflow into other side
• Last release using master as default development branch, all future development will be in 'next' followed by experimental branches as necessary.

Planned for 0.11

• Configuration is saved and can be read back from 'Open' World file.
• Improve Import/Export and New/Open/Save World.
• Improve pyside/QT integration and configuration dialog
• De-couple application globals and make them configurable: sea-level can be adjusted
• Better river erosion, valley effect and erosion itself is effected by drainage as well
• Basic wind and rain erosion on mountains and shorelines

Planned for future

• Flora and fauna based on biomes and heatmap
• Civilizations based on early human migration and grouping models
• Roads between civilization hubs (village/town/city)
• Economic zones and resources based on flora and fauna, drainage and civilizations.
• 3D preview of currently shown map
• POV-ray export
• An actual editor to manipulate the heightmap
• Undo/Redo history
• Zoom control (in/out)
