agent developement is very active
code clean up
larger test-suite, modern perl
architecture changes
event-driven programming, various executable
smaller memory footprint

40. What else? (2/2)
In test-suite we trust!
strong effort done during the the last year
36 800 tests on the GLPI plugin and up to 2 000 on the agent
with even stronger benefit so far
41. Our roadmap
What we are about to release
FusionInventory for GLPI 0.78: beta planned for this month
ESX inventory: before june
