In addition to implementing new features we have an internal system for tracking potential issues (we call these IARs) which can turn into bugs once confirmed. Bug fixes are rolled into future internal BETAs and the IAR # is noted in the change log.

* '''Live connection''' - A live bidirectional connection to the StableBit Cloud servers enables enhanced real-time communication capabilities and features such as App Remote Control.
 +
* '''Health and activity''' - Monitor application health and activity from a centralized dashboard in the cloud.
 +
* '''Statistics and metrics''' - Browse through historical statistics and summaries, or monitor incoming metrics from your apps in real-time.
 +
* '''Application settings synchronization''' - Backs up your settings and persistent application state to the cloud and synchronizes it with other applications connected to the same StableBit Cloud account.
 +
* '''Enhanced update delivery''' - Enhanced update delivery supports multiple release channels and leverages the StableBit Cloud to deliver updates to you in real-time as soon as they're released.
 +
* '''License management''' - No need to activate individual licenses anymore. Centralized license management simplifies licensing and lets you manage all of your licenses in one place.

==== Add Pool Parts from Virtual Volumes ====

'''Completion estimate: 50%'''

This has been requested often. One example of a volume that doesn't reside on a physical drive is a mounted TrueCrypt volume.

==== Per-folder Balancing Rules ====
 
−
You should be able to limit file placement to a set of pool parts based on the path name.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Drive Removal Improvements ====
 
−
Drive removal should have more flexible options in terms of:
 
−
* Optionally, automatically closing handles to files that are in-use on the pool part being removed.
 
−
* Optionally, automatically restarting services / applications that have files open on the pool part being removed.
 
−
 
 
−
==== Better Management of Running Out of Disk Space ====
 
−
When an existing file cannot expand due to running out of disk space on some particular pool part, instead of returning the out of disk space error, we should force an immediate and quick re-balance in order to free up the disk space required for the file expansion and allow the expansion to go forward uninterrupted.

=== Deeper BitFlock integration ===
 
−
'''Completion estimate: 20%'''
 
−
 
 
−
Expect to see much deeper and more functional BitFlock integration in the future, in particular:
 
−
* More metadata about drives from the manufacturer spec sheets integrated with the SMART interpretation system.
 
−
** Maximum operating temperatures, per model.
 
−
** Maximum load / unload cycles, per model.
 
−
** Warranty time period for your model.
 
−
** Links to the manufacturer's web site and RMA request pages.
 
−
* Enhanced SMART interpretation using aggregated statistics for your drive model.
 
−
** Your drive age will be compared to other drives in the system of the same model giving you a better idea of how often your model fails.
 
−
* Create password protected BitFlock nests containing your SMART data, right from the StableBit Scanner UI.
