Outlook

What's the future of pvbrowser ? Of course new widgets will be added. Also new methods for existing widgets will be provided. But we will always keep in mind that servers written with an older version of pvbrowser must keep running.

We also wish to provide more code samples about howto do pvserver programming. Especially we need more samples using VTK.

Another topic is the connection to field busses, PLC's and data aquisition systems. In this area we will work close together with other groups on the internet. We ourself have already done some work for EIB-Bus, Modbus, CAN, (Profibus) and Reflective Memory.

I hope that pvbrowser may be used more widely. The best ideas seem to come from the users. Ideas I may have never thought of.
