# Passlib Roadmap
## Overview
Passlib is slowly moving towards 2.0, and with it, there are plans to cleanup (and attempt to simplify) a lot of the internal code. Release 1.7 made some major cleanups to the API, while trying to maintain backwards compatibility. 1.8 will shed some low-impact features, and add some slated new ones.
If something here would impact your application, please post a question / feedback on the [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/passlib-users)!
## Upcoming Changes
As a heads-up, developers may be impacted by the following changes
planned for future releases:
### v1.8
* **passlib.context**: Removal of long-deprecated `CryptPolicy` class.
* **passlib.apache**: Removal of deprecated v1.5 compatibility methods.
* **passlib.ext.django**: Split out as separate project, or remove it. See issue #81
* **passlib.handlers**: This package contains the actual hasher implementations, and should have been private all along. It will probably be renamed to **passlib._hashers** (or even relocated to within `passlib.hash`, if that's feasible given the proxy module that currently sits there).
### v1.9
* Depending on v2.0 development changes, there *may* be a v1.9 a transitional release: applications using non-deprecated parts of 1.9 should be able to drop in 2.0 without much pain.
### v2.0
* **Dropping Python 2.x / 3.3 support** (May happen sooner, if pip/tox toolchain drops support first).
* A *large* number of deprecated methods and features will be removed;
primarily the deprecated `PasswordHash.encrypt`
and `CryptContext.encrypt` methods.
* **passlib.context**: `CryptContext` objects will default to ``deprecated="auto"``,
meaning all but the first scheme will be considered deprecated unless
explicitly stated otherwise.
* **passlib.apache**: `HtpasswdFile` will default to apache-2.4 compatible defaults. Forward- & backward- compatible ``default_scheme`` settings are available as of Passlib 1.7.
## Python Deprecation Policy
The following is a rough guide for when Passlib will drop support for a Python version:
* When pip or setuptools drops support, Passlib *will* follow.
* When tox or virtualenv drops support, Passlib will generally follow, unless there's a particular demand for that python release, and that demand justifies the special handling required for testing.
* Otherwise general compatibility will be attempted, unless the python version requires specific hacks to the source code, in which case support will be dropped once general usage is low enough.
