FastRobot Roadmap 🗺️

Vision: To provide the fastest possible native primitives for robot automation by aggressively bypassing bottlenecks in standard Java.

🟢 v0.1.0: Initial Release (Completed)

• Core Native Engine: Basic JNI implementation for Win32 SendInput and screen capture.
• Blueprint Standards: README, Reference, and Philosophy integration.

🟢 v0.1.1: FastImage Interop & Modern Toolchain (Current)

• FastImage Ecosystem Integration: Direct captureImage(...) and zero-copy getFrameImage() bridge.
• Visual Studio 2026/2022 Auto-Detection: Universal build automation via vswhere.exe.
• JMH Benchmark Suite: Official comparative benchmark suite against java.awt.Robot.

🟡 v0.2.0: Optimization Phase

• SIMD Acceleration: Implement AVX2/SSE4.2 paths for core loops.
• Software Prefetching: Optimize memory access patterns.
• Alignment Enforcement: Ensure zero-penalty memory boundaries.

🟠 v0.5.0: Platform & Logic Expansion

• ARM NEON Port: Parity for Apple Silicon/Mobile.
• Advanced Features: Multi-threaded paths and complex batch operations.

🔴 v1.0.0: Production Hardening

• Full Stability Audit: Long-run stress testing.
• Enterprise Support: NUMA-awareness and Large Pages support.
