Our team started working on new version of AnsPress. This version will focus on existing core code improvement and security fixes. Some new feature request has been added to road map and we may accept more request but we do not guarantee to implement in this version. We are excluding language files after this release and will provide an option to fetch language file directly from github.

Coding standard
This has been pending for months now finally AnsPress coding standard will be improved as per WordPress guidelines. We may rename or deprecate or replace some core classes, files and functions to improve standards. Proper doc comments will be added in function, class, and files.
Code and DB improvement
Codes will be optimized. duplication and complexity in codes will be fixed. Some new data tables may be get added to decrease complexity due to ap_meta table.
Optimization of assets
Frontend assets (CSS/JS) will be optimized to decrease loading time. By default minified version of the assets will be loaded and every library will be loaded from CDN as much as possible (except WP core library). An option will be added to toggle development mode.
User role and permission
Existing AnsPress role will be improved and access will be granted based on capabilities. A new user role will introduce called "AnsPress Banned", for banning bad guys to post anything in AnsPress. A tool will be added so that default AnsPress capabilities can be applied to any 3rd party user role.
Admin improvement
Admin dashboard will be improved to get proper summery of AnsPress. Additional controls and sections will be added in post table and post page. Improved search functionality will be added for easy searching of posts and users.
Great! all pull request to our github repository are welcome.
