Roadmap

The goal is to have an environment that I am comfortable daily-driving by July 2024. This goal will be marked by the 1.0.0 release. Until then, all releases will be 0.x.0.

The dates attached to these releases aren't set in stone. Any release may come earlier if the work is done. Also, new features may be added to the release while it's in progress if priority changes, which may push back the release date.
