Roadmap

Schema validation (Ontology)

Need objects can be validated against a given schema. This includes local need options as well as linked needs and their properties. This topic is also known as Ontology.

Source code tracing

Fast integration into a range of source code types such as C/C++, Python, Rust, Java, Yaml, and more.

Impact analysis

Analyse the difference between two revisions of a project. This can be compared to a git diff command, just for traceability.

Visualisations

Visualise the connected needs to the one you are currently editing and explore the needs network in a graphical way.

Preview Sphinx-Needs visualisations

Preview needs visualisations in real-time while editing the RST files. This includes needflow, needtable or needbar.

This also involves previewing resulting needs of filter strings.

RST formatting

Auto-format RST files.

Markdown support

Support .md files for ubCode if using the MyST extension. Also auto-format .md files is planned.

Auto-completion

Schema-aware auto-completions for need objects and fuzzy select need IDs.

Workspace support

Often documentation is split into multiple Sphinx projects. A native workspace support is planned which makes ubCode aware of all projects and their dependencies.
