1.17 Roadmap

This page is for consolidating and planning when new features and fixes are intended to land in the 1.17 development branch. The release schedule for Development releases can be found here. A thread for discussing this roadmap can also be found here.

Instructions

Place the feature or fix you intend to implement within the section of the point release that you intend to have it implemented by, as well as your forum username in parenthesis after the feature description. The point release something is planned to be released with is not set in stone, and can be updated as needed depending on the circumstances.

Additionally, the current set of 1.17 point releases is not final, and can be increased or decreased based on what features and fixes are planned. The only hard deadline, which hopefully is not an issue, is to have 1.18 released by February 2024. This will allow 1.18 to be in the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS release's repositories, and while I realize we don't plan Wesnoth's releases around any distro's schedule, there are also currently no other specific criteria to use as a final deadline. Alternatively, depending on what plans people have, 1.18 can be scheduled to happen earlier than that (in 2023).

1.17.21 (10/15/2023) (Beta 1)

This marks the beginning of the feature freeze and string freeze for 1.17; the only API changes made past this point must be to fix bugs.
