Roadmap for 2025
- Read Gaël’s roadmap for 2025
- Discussion on roadmap
Release
v3.0
Current Status:
Testing in progress
-
As you may have read in the roadmap linked above, some new features are proposed. While the team is working on finishing most of the topics in time for the release, Pl note some of the tasks may require more development and testing efforts.
-
Features like MDM and Unified Push may already be showing up in the OS but will be disabled by default / greyed out and will not work even if activated as there is still work to be done on them.
-
We will share the final subset of what will come as part of v3.0
-
Build code would show up as v2.10 and may be renamed to v3.0 based on the decision to go ahead by the development team.
-
Some 2025 roadmap features will have their code hidden from users, as they are developed in private repositories to avoid circulating unstable codebases with unresolved bugs. Once development and testing are complete, the code for these features will be publicly released. -
ETA : To be decided
