- “Where’s the road-map.” We can understand people wanting to know the roadmap. Knowing the road-map will add the predictability we all want. I wish I could be VERY precise but I cannot as I do not want to make promises that we may not be able to fully deliver. I am a stickler for keeping up promises. But ... Here is a little preview:
• We just released 4.0.6 and we have begun work on 4.1. Will there be a 4.0.7? Maybe. The changes we made to the development process allow us to move code from one track to a different one. We might package a 4.0.7 release based on how 4.1 progresses.
• 4.1 is coming mid September to mid October. It will contain as cornerstones an improved and re-factored stylevar system with an easier way to customize your board and will also make it easier to upgrade without breaking customized styles. Additionally, we will release a profile customization tool. And finally, a means to better configure your boards and the entry points to it. And no, we are not forgetting bug fixes, including fixes outside of the described features.
• There will be a series of maintenance releases for the 4.1 series. We want these to come fast. They will include bugs at the center of each release, but each will also contain enhancements and features.
• 4.2 is currently intended – but not promised - for mid December to mid January. We have a few features we want to add for that release, however, we are still working on it. And again, it will contain more bug fixes.
