This is our proposed roadmap for 2026. It is composed of items that we, the developers, think is necessary to move Rotonda forward, in terms of performance and groundwork to enable new features, as well as new features requested by users.
The roadmap is adjusted continuously to adapt to new requests and the results of our development process.
