Roadmap
(latest update: July 17th, 2009)
eZ Publish
eZ Systems updated its internal product management after the eZ Publish 4.1 release. eZ Publish software now follows a regular heartbeat and is released on a biannual basis in September and March. Certified extensions by eZ Systems are potentially released more frequently, with possible releases for certified extensions in late June and at the beginning of January. eZ Publish and its certified extensions are released concurrently with Premium Support and Maintenance available from eZ Systems.
The roadmap below gives you the targeted scope of future eZ Publish releases, which will be updated continuously. The list of features for a specific version will be final only when we freeze the scope of the release in question, which will take place in the course of the development phase. eZ Systems will update the roadmap after scope freeze in order to signal the change.
