## Status:
* Fossil 2.0 is currently just an idea. No code has been written.
## Core Principles:
* 100% repository compatible. Reuse existing repos (perhaps with "rebuild")
* 100% sync compatible. Push, pull, and clone with version 1.x repos.
## Web Interface Enhancements:
* Refactor to a small, sensible, well-defined and well-document set of
CSS classes that are easy to configure.
* OK to break existing skins.
* Push toward being closer to RESTful
* Strive for basic operation w/o javascript, though clearly javascript
is allowed when necessary. (Javascript draws the timeline graph for
example.) This principle does not change from 1.x.
## Command-line Interface:
* "fossil mv" and "fossil rm" actually rename and delete the underlying
files.
## Implementation Strategy:
* Make changes in a long-running branch (named "fossil-2.0"?) until
ready to cut-over, then merge into trunk.
* Keep two versions of Fossil (1.x and 2.0-alpha) both running on
<https://www.fossil-scm.org/> so that people can compare the changes
to the web-interface easily.
* Provide a place to download pre-compiled binaries of 2.0-alpha.

* Possibility of using a different hash, such as sha384 or sha512. Just because sha1 is fine doesn't mean it will always be fine. <i>-- drh replies:
Unable. This would be an incompatible file format change.</i>
* online file editing
* alphabetization of lists
* some style of pastebin with syntax highlighting, similar to tech notes or wiki
* libressl support

Doesn't this already work in Fossil 1.30?</i>
