Flux Roadmap

Milestones

The Flux project roadmap is divided into milestones representing minor releases, each with a set of goals and tasks. The milestones marked as provisional are subject to change based on the project’s priorities and the community’s feedback.

Please note that the Flux maintainers prioritize fixes to defects affecting GA APIs and security issues over new features. Depending on the volume of incoming issues and the complexity of the fixes, the roadmap may be adjusted and new features may be postponed to the next milestone.
