# Assessment of the iteration that has ended
[previous iteration]: /blog/2022/03/21/planning
The goal of the [previous iteration][] was:
> The goal of this iteration is to add a "root object" for a user's
> backups, which lists the backup generations in order.
This was completed.
# Discussion
## Current development theme
The current theme of development for Obnam is **convenience**. The choices
are performance, security, convenience, and tidy-up, at least
currently.
## `cachedir` utility
Lars created a simple `cachedir` utility, in Rust. It's not yet on
crates.io, and there's not yet a Debian package, as those are both
blocked on a Subplot release. The git repository is at
<https://gitlab.com/obnam/cachedir>.
# Repository review
Lars reviewed all the open issues, merge requests, and CI pipelines
for all the projects in the Obnam group on gitlab.com.

# Goals
## Goal for 1.0 (not changed this iteration)
The goal for version 1.0 is for Obnam to be an utterly boring backup
solution for Linux command line users. It should just work, be
performant, secure, and well-documented.
It is not a goal for version 1.0 to have been ported to other
operating systems, but if there are volunteers to do that, and to
commit to supporting their port, ports will be welcome.
Other user interfaces is likely to happen only after 1.0.
The server component will support multiple clients in a way that
doesn’t let them see each other’s data. It is not a goal for clients
to be able to share data, even if the clients trust each other.
## Goal for the next few iterations (not changed for this iteration)
The goal for next few iterations is to have Obnam be easier and safer
to change, both for developers and end users. This means that
developers need to be able to make breaking changes without users
having to suffer. User shall be able to migrate their data, when they
feel it worthwhile, not just because there is a new version.
## Goal for this iteration (new for this iteration)
The goal for this iteration is to further improve our ability to make
changes to Obnam safely.
# Commitments for this iteration
Lars intends to work on the "root object" change, as described above.
This will affect, and hopefully resolve the following issues:
* [[!issue 202]] - _Server HTTP API is not versioned_
- Lars will make all the current HTTP API end points be verisoned:
`/v1/chunks` etc.
* [[!issue 203]] - _No migration to new checksum types_
- Lars will add a prefix to all checksum, and add a second supported
checksum type. User will be able to configure which checksum is
used for new chunks, while old chunks are used with whatever they
were labelled as.
