Roadmap

Command-Line Interface

• Introduce configurable --verbose and --quiet logging options.

Configuration Files

• Support automatic discovery of TOML configuration files (e.g., pyproject.toml).

• Improve integration with the ubCode and Sphinx-Needs ecosystems.

Source Code Parsing

• Introduce a configurable option to strip leading characters (e.g., *) from commented RST blocks.

• Enrich tagged scopes with additional metadata.

• Extend language support by adding parsers for more comment styles, including but not limited to:

  • Rust

• Enhance .gitignore handling to support nested .gitignore files.

Defining Needs in Source Code

• Introduce flexible ways to define Sphinx-Needs items in source code, such as using raw RST text and multi-line comments.

• Implement a feature to export needs defined in source code to a needs.json file, improving CI workflows and portability.
