Release Roadmap

Below is a snapshot of our release planning for Zero. Because we’re developing this in close coordination with our user community, feature priorities and release sequences are likely to change. If you’d like to provide input on features, jump into the Discord and join the conversation.

Timelines are tricky in the software world, so we avoid putting dates on future releases. Generally, we try to set up point-releases (0.5, 0.6, etc.) so they can be developed, tested and released within 4-6 weeks.

Note to purchasers: If you have purchased a device, you can request access to the Beta program at any time. Your device ships within a two weeks, pre-loaded with the current stable Beta software. Future releases can be easily installed as they become available.
