+Release TODO
+============
 
-- Update parser to catch all argparse import styles
-- Investigate Docopt
-- better graphics
+ - [ ] MUST add new entries to all language files
 
-- Restart Button Change :
-    * need different strategy for everything added.
+ - [ ] Fix user supplied directory path when packaged. Currently gives super cryptic failures
+ - [X] need ability to call out to external seed function for dynamic defaults
+    - [ ] update readme (SavingOverIt could be example use case)
+    - [ ] extend this to all types (currently only works for Dropdowns)
+    - [ ] think about stuff. Need a friendly way to specify mappings that's more
+          flexible than options_strings
+ - [X] success/error screen after a ForceStop should be configurable. Stopping early does not necessarily error
 
-- Fix vertical stacking of restart button
-- system for supplying custom widgets to the GUI
-  -- e.g. a FileChooser, rather than just a TextBox
-- Remove debug statements current printing from program
-- add optional cancel button.
-- allow NoConfig to run without argparse (Issue #43)
-    * display warning when this happens (could be a misfire on Gooey's end)
-    * add suppress warnings flag
+ - [ ] customizable button text
+ - [X] text encoding
+ - [X] pass down the font info to the console
+ - [X] pass down the style info to the console
 
-- Implemente a simple MVC pattern for isolate gui toolkit specifique code and
-  argparse specifique code (support for tkinter, qt etc ... and docopt or unix
-  cli as text)
 
-- Make a .io site for the presentation
+Issue #234
+ - allow general options
 
-- More comments and basic api generation + some txt for explain the global

+ - [ ] RadioGroup
+    - [ ] `initial_selection` option
+    - [ ] group name options
+ - [ ] force_stop_is_error
+ - [X] validation howto
+ - [ ] advanced layout howto
+ - [ ] turning on/off dialog options
+ - [X] full list of custom widgets and their options
+ - [ ] progress bar management
+
+
+Custom Validation:
+
+ - [X] make sure user supplied validators fail gracefully and report something useful
+ - [ ] validator should be able to call outside itself -- either to a separate cmdline util, or a subset of the host prog
