You can add your queries regarding v3.0 to the post linked above. The team will be answering them during the presentation.
Audio video recordings of the presentation would be available for viewing later.
Release notes will show up here once the release is initiated
-
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 may already be showing up in the OS. These features will be removed/ 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 details of these upcoming features on our documentation site. Some of these features like MDM are more relevant to corporate users and are not exactly for the average user.
-
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 be developed in private repositories to prevent sharing unstable code with unresolved bugs. Once development and testing are complete, the code will be publicly released.
