As a company policy we don't publish general road maps or discuss upcoming features, except in a few specific circumstances. Although this policy causes some strife, it isn't something we will change. We don't want to discuss our big features until they are at least ready for beta testing, and managing user expectations of smaller/medium features and their implementation priority isn't something we have the bandwidth to do. Our direction and priorities have to be pretty dynamic, and trying to outline what our goals/priorities are today will just cause future complaints/frustrations as things inevitability have to shift around. Basically, we don't want to publicly talk about what will be in Indigo until it is about to be released. We very much dislike vaporware and unfulfilled promises. We are honest and open about a lot on the forums here, but future big features and directions isn't something we will discuss.
As to our release schedule, we have indeed not had as many releases over the last few months as we had hoped. Our goal is to get into a more steady stream of releases. Sometimes the larger scale and architectural level work will impact our ability to get the incremental releases out. We have been working on some exciting things, but without breaking my policy rule above all I can say is they are still beyond the scope of what will be released in the near term future. In the mean time we'll continue to push for more incremental releases and providing the best support that we can for our users and outstanding development community.
