From 9a64a46c1c7e031d47ebafd4f74f8c135e27a709 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Taoussanis Date: Thu, 30 Nov 2023 09:44:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [doc] Document release roadmap + stability goals --- README.md | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index dda68e7..bcf9d1d 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -31,6 +31,20 @@ See [here][GitHub releases] for earlier releases. Note that Tempel is [not intended](../../wiki/3-Faq#can-i-decrypt-tempel-data-with-other-tools) for interop with other cryptographic tools/APIs. +## Roadmap + +Tempel has a fixed scope, and is **fully complete**. I'm happy with its design and implementation, and believe it meets all its objectives in its current form. I'm not anticipating significant changes. + +Still, given the sensitivity of the problem domain, I plan to approach Tempel's official stable release as a phased rollout to allow time for user feedback before locking things down. + +The timeline: + +- Jan 2024 - beta +- Mar 2024 - release candidate +- May 2024 - stable + +The stable release will then be marked as "**done / mature**".
