Roadmap

Roadmap

This is a living list, not a contract. GitHub Release is 1.0.6. 1.0.7 stays on main until we cut it. Nothing else ships until it is actually tested.

Order of operations

1. Debian-family .deb — Ubuntu, Debian, Zorin OS. This is the test bed. JMHBM is moving off Fedora Silverblue onto Zorin OS 18.1 so packaging is not fighting an immutable host.
2. Windows 11 — after the .deb is signed off. Native installer, NVENC / QSV, same studio.
3. macOS — no Mac on the desk, so this is a VM (and later a real Mac if one shows up). VideoToolbox. No download until a VM run has actually exported a file.
4. RPM / Fedora / other distros last. An RPM was built once. It stays off Releases until someone installs it on a mutable Fedora and says it works.

Now — 1.0.6 on Releases

• Debian / Ubuntu / Zorin .deb
• 2D + 3D studio
• Live preview
• VA-API on AMD, software fallback
• 16:9 / 9:16 / 1:1 · 720p–4K
• Beat bounce, placement, rotation, stretch, gradients

Unreleased on main — 1.0.7

• Starter looks, session memory, PNG frame export
• Headless CLI (renderbolt render)
• AppStream metainfo
• Keys 1–6, About

Engine, later

• NVIDIA NVENC / Intel QSV (Linux)
• More 3D looks (particles, tunnels, spectrum cities)
• Preset packs people can share
• Optional lyrics / timed text
• Batch render from a folder of tracks

What we will not do

• Require an account
• Upload your audio to a server to “process” it
• Ship a package we have not installed ourselves
• Lead with RPM because the first box was Silverblue

Watch Releases. The Debian build is the one we stand behind today.
