- Timing

Release planning
- 3 releases until Oxygen
- 1.4, 1.5, 1.6
- Compatibility with at least two versions of Xtext will need to be maintained - we will use the optimistic strategy (use xtext latest for master, relax version constraints to work with one older)
- Release train
  - Join around M2
  - Process
    - Create release record for 1.6 (projects portal)
    - Announce on cross-projects
    - Update site has to be registered in a specific git repository at eclipse.org
Local search feature planning
- Focus on stability, validation and user experience
Feature request: DSLs for MT and DSE components
- Valid request; timing is undecided
- DSL for simple transformation + Java/Xtend/Xbase backend for more complex cases
C++ runtime for local search
- Work of Róbert Dóczi
- Underway into the VIATRA project
- Reuse VIATRA/EMF tooling, but extended with C++ code generator (both for model and search)
- Not all VQL elements supported
- Experimental feature
Aggregators
- Backend and language feature enhancements
Graphical syntax for VIATRA queries
