(based on Bazel Feature Roadmap)
This document describes the Tink team's plans for introducing features. Note that this roadmap only includes features that the Tink team itself intends to support. We anticipate that a number of other features will be added by code contributors.
In the following list, each feature is associated with a corresponding milestone. The convention for the priorities are:
-
P0 feature will block the milestone; we will delay the milestone date until the feature is shipped.
-
P1 feature can delay the milestone if the feature can be shipped with a reasonable delay.
-
P2 feature will be dropped and rescheduled for later rather than delaying the milestone. We will update this list when reaching each milestone; some milestones may also be refined if appropriate.
Tentative release date: July 2018 (it was June 2018, but we need more time to prepare the Obj-C release).
