Roadmap Outline

For details of actual release content see

The roadmap is outlined below.
Current Release
This is the latest release that is available to download. A release consists of a package of features, functionality and fixes across the Woosage components (Service, plugin and monitor) and is not necessarily linked to the the components versions (e.g. Release 8 has service, monitor and plugin updates with service and monitor versions as 3.0.2 and 3.0.1, respectively)

Next Release
This is the release in development & testing with the key features, functionality & fixes confirmed with a target release date . Target date are not guaranteed and testing can highlight unforeseen issues that require further development. Additionally, unforeseen changes to Sage or website plugin require developments that divert resources.

Candidates for Subsequent Release
This is a list of changes we are currently consider for inclusion in a subsequent release.  Once the Next Release is completed the final changes to be included will be confirmed.
Alert
Note. candidates may not make the final release.
