Version 1.0 Release Roadmap

We’re getting close to release I think. Here’s what I have in mind:

• Merge new schema interface (#116)
• Merge new configure interface (#123)
• update code generation to use new configure interface (#127)
• Rename Layer to Chart (#125)
• Update Vega-Lite schema to 1.0.10+ and update wrappers (#128)
• Address bugs #90 & #91
• Maybe add auto-generation of Encoding/Facet?
• Maybe add auto-generation of Chart and other higher-level wrappers? (decorator solution instead: see #129 & https://github.com/ellisonbg/altair/commit/bc9b1c66945aeaefe0da8cc42298dcfff01cf1be)
• Implement other top-level objects exposed in vega-lite 1.0.10+?
• Add + syntax for creating LayeredChart (#137)
• Add regression notebook (#138)
• Do another ipyvega release with vega-lite 1.0.12
• One more pass through docs and examples; in particular add examples of FacetedChart and LayeredChart (#137)
• Create conda-forge recipe (#89)

major versions follow that of vega-lite and ipyvega

Since altair & vega-lite are so closely related, I think that would be a great approach here. For ipyvega it’s less clear to me, because the package depends on other codebases too (vega, polestar, etc.)
