Roadmap

This is a copy of the official roadmap which can be found on the forums.

Refer to Roadmap/History for past versions of the roadmap and to upcoming features for a more detailed list of upcoming features.

Overview

The Roadmap has been updated for one release upfront.

Please keep in mind that Wube will release updates when they are ready, usually later than the date on their roadmap. There may be more features than there are on this roadmap. It's also not guaranteed everything will be implemented (Golden rule: everything takes longer than expected).
