Call for feature requests for Version 0 Alpha 9

[userjack6880]

With the release of Version 0 Alpha 8.2, some dates have been set. Version 0 Alpha 8's development will be halted and development of Version 0 Alpha 9 will begin. As 31 March 2022, the branches will represent the versions as follows:

• main: Version 0 Alpha 8.2
• dev: Version 0 Alpha 9
• testing: Version 0 Alpha 9
• bugfix: Version 0 Alpha 8.2
• security: Version 0 Alpha 8.1

Finally, for the creation of Version 0 Alpha 9, I am doing a final call for feature requests. This does not mean that requests for tweaks to existing in Alpha 8 and future features in Alpha 9 aren't welcomed, I simply want to put a cap on features being added to this project at this moment. I feel confident that this project is ready to move into the beta phase, and hopefully get a full release out by the end of 2022. To that goal, feature requests are due by 30 April 2022. Feature requests after that due date will be held and be implemented for Version 2 Alpha 1, which will be far into the future.

I apologize for development slowdowns, but it's about time this gets out the door. Thanks to everyone who has been enthusiastic about this project over the last few years.
