PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS FILE CONTAINS VERY OUTDATED INFORMATION, KEPT ONLY FOR HISTORICAL PURPOSES.

For the current plans related to Panels2, you should consult the groups.drupal.org Panels group:

Here's a rough sketch of the work plan shortly prior to the 5.x-2.0-beta4 release:

5.x-beta3 ==> beta4 ==> beta5 ==> RC1 ==> RCs... ==> 5.x RELEASE!! ==> 5.x-2.1
                                   |
                               6.x port ==> 6.x RCs... ==> 6.x RELEASE!! ==> 6.x-2.1
                                                             |
                                                           6.x-3.x-ALPHA ==> (FUTURE OF PANELS)
