A new clearer plan for the next releases. Please follow the wiki page Migrations for all braking changes, between those releases.

Here, the main points of rc1 milestone:

• I'm working on the new big feature of Scrollable Headers and Footers. Since this feature brings lot of new code, it must be closed as soon as possible.
• I need to improve the EndlessScrolling / LoadingMore: how it is now, it is not good and with the new concept of footers the progressItem could become a footer item.
• I need to fix 2 small but annoying bugs in scrolling animations.
• I have to refactor / deprecate many functions, however, they will be removed in the rc3/final release. So this also must be done asap too.
• I can simplify a lot the configuration for the sticky header container, doing so we can remove the mini layout from ours xmls.
• Need to add the possibility to set elevation to the header item and to the sticky header container.

For rc2 milestone:

• Simplify the initialization and review internal calculations for updateDataSet and filtering.
• I need to evaluate the creation of a separate library for the extensions.
• Extension to support DataBinding as this seems highly demanded by the users.
• Support of Endless Top Scrolling
• Support of third LayoutManagers.
• List copy managed internally.
• An huge improvement for the FastScroller.
• Get rid of Method B.
• Allow to filter items preserving the originalList internally.
• New FlexibleItemDecoration.
• Better Log system.
• Code optimization.
• Finish the Wiki pages.
• Bug fixes that come from rc1 pre-release.

The rc3 milestone:

• Include the new GrabVer (Gradle Automatic Build Versioning) which I am currently working on.
• Delete of all deprecated functions (moved from final, we are getting close to final release!).
• Features enhancement.
• I will see what I can do to improve swipe capability.
• More unit tests.
• Bug fixes that come from rc2 pre-release.

For final release:

• More example for the demoApp, included horizontal layout with snapping feature.
• A new and simple-to-read demoApp (anticipated from final release). Initial basic implementation will come from the new AndroidStarterApp project.
• Delete of all new deprecated classes and functions done in rc3.
• Some bug fixes and other code adjustment that will appear clearer with time.
• Finalizing the demoApp and part of the documentation.
• Publishing to PlayStore.

Extensions releases has big challenges:
In order to support the DB extensions a new level of Abstraction should be designed. Those extensions will not be confirmed once an acceptable class has been produced.

• Extension to support LiveData and automatic conversion.
  (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/util/SortedList.html).
• Extension for UI: some classes might be moved into this library and new one will come (see next points).
• Dialogs with Adapter and RecyclerView.
• StickyHeaders on the left side (Should eventually implement a custom LayoutManager?)
