OPNSense roadmap question

[pankaj]

Hi,

I was browsing the page at https://opnsense.org/about/road-map and just curious if there is a list of planned features for Jan 2023 release?

Thanks,

PS: the list overall is very impressive so hats off to the entire OPNSense team for staying the course with development work over last several years!

We have come to decide on major release roadmap only after the current one comes out. There are some general goals we follow all the time as stated there, but it's hard to pinpoint features and required software updates to multiple upcoming major versions as we've heard complains about shifting scope before and want to avoid adding features that we can't possibly fit in the end.

Expect a new roadmap beginning of August from us for 23.1 .


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks Franco and totally understand that things are fluid and sharing details ahead of time can also set expectations which may backfire!!

Yes this is an old thread, but a great one, thank you!

As I too have a Proxmox setup and am interested in branching out and growing more development experience.

Would there be any write-up or direction to more reading to know how to setup my own development space for OPNSense?

I don't know how your question fits into the "roadmap" section but regarding developing for OPNsense: https://docs.opnsense.org/develop.html is a starting point.

Haha! I had a few tabs open and apparently posted on the wrong thread - there was a post that detailed how to use ansible to start an OPNSense development environment. Was curious if that had matured or not, and by the git repo for that it would seem that is still a very useful way to get started in developing for OPNSense.
