  The LIMA pro­ject started in 2009. The goal was to pro­vide a soft­ware li­brary for the uni­fied con­trol of 2D de­tec­tors. LIMA is a col­lab­o­ra­tive pro­ject in­volv­ing syn­chro­trons, re­search fa­cil­i­ties and in­dus­trial com­pa­nies. LIMA sup­ports most de­tec­tors used for X-ray de­tec­tion or other sci­en­tific ap­pli­ca­tions. Live dis­play is sup­ported via a video in­ter­face and most of the na­tive video cam­era image for­mats are sup­ported. LIMA pro­vides a plug-in ar­chi­tec­ture for on-line pro­cess­ing which al­lows image pre-treat­ment be­fore sav­ing e.g. noise re­duc­tion al­go­rithm or au­to­matic X-ray beam at­ten­u­a­tion dur­ing con­tin­u­ous scans. The li­brary sup­ports many file for­mat in­clud­ing EDF, CBF, FITS, HDF5 and TIFF. To cope with in­creas­ing de­tec­tor ac­qui­si­tion speed, the lat­est LIMA re­lease in­cludes multi-threaded, par­al­lelized image sav­ing with data com­pres­sion (gzip or lz4). For even higher through­put a new de­sign, based on a dis­trib­uted multi-com­puter ar­chi­tec­ture, of the LIMA frame­work is en­vis­aged. The paper will de­scribe the LIMA roadmap for the com­ing years.
