Keyman Roadmap – November 2019

Introduction to the Roadmap

Update: see the latest version of the roadmap

This blog post contains the November 2019 update to our roadmap for Keyman. This roadmap depends very much on the resources available to our team, and it will change over time. It is not a promise to deliver by a date, but rather our best estimate as to where we want to take the project.

Older versions of the roadmap:

• May 2018
• October 2018
• February 2019

If you compare this roadmap with the previous one, you will see that the dates when we aim to release functionality have changed considerably. This makes us a little sad but reflects the current reality of resources available for the Keyman project. We welcome comments and suggestions on our plans. Many of the dot points here deserve more detail, and as we start work on these, we’ll aim to make the working documents available for design feedback as well.

We’ll aim to update this roadmap periodically – as we adapt to the ever changing software environment and priorities shift accordingly.
