### Known issues:

- No known issues.

### Ongoing Work:

- Although performance is not usually an issue with dynamic anys, opportunities to optimize will be exploited. Future work on optimization of DII/DSI performance will also benefit dynamic anys.

### Future work:

- Implementation of dynamic any classes for value types, boxed value types, and fixed types, as these types themselves are implemented in TAO (value types are partially implemented, but the implementation does not include Any insertion/extraction operators or type codes).

- Implementation of get and insert operations for abstract interfaces, when abstract interfaces themselves are implemented in TAO.

### Completed Work:

- Transfer of dynany-specific code from the TAO library to the TAO_DynamicAny library, in ACE_ROOT/TAO/tao/DynamicAny.

- Overhaul of existing implementation of dynamic anys in TAO to comply with changes to the dynamic any spec that appeared in CORBA 2.3.1, and with additional changes that appeared in CORBA 2.4.2.

- Expansion of existing dynamic any tests to included the added functionality.
