The Roadmap aims to set out when certain features will appear. It reduces in clarity the further we go into the future, and is constantly being added to as we move forward.

If you're just looking to find out whether a feature is likely to end up in core or not, then take a look at the planned features page. It's just a list, but we're adding more detail to it as we go.

Version 0.4.1

Early February

It is anticipated that there will be a 0.4.1 maintenance release a few weeks after 0.4 purely to iron out some bugs

Milestone 5 - Version 0.5.0 - Apps & Import

Spring 2014

This is the current Milestone

Focuses on the app boilerplates, API, filters, importers, permissions, security and other app related things, to bring the first iteration of Ghost Apps to the public.

open issues

In order to deliver the first iterations of Ghost Apps in 0.5, we need to focus on the following areas:

  • installation, activation, and other management actions
  • settings for apps, including the database, models, and UIs
  • acl for the api, app permissions, the proxy object and other security concerns
  • providing hooks and filters, along with documentation for them

We also want to deliver the official Ghost Importer App, which will allow importing from WordPress and other platforms.

Getting Apps off the ground:

Import Apps:

Note This section needs (and will shortly be receiving) an overhaul and should mostly be ignored in the short-term.

  • Ghost Importer: UI love #953 [TOP PRIORITY]
  • Add "Delete All Content" Button #1445
  • importing a bad database that fails to import still imports content #837
  • De-duplicate posts and tags in importer #806

Features and refactors required for Apps

  • Users: Roll out the ACL/Permissions system #357
  • Utilize Transactions in Data Operations #586

Misc for 0.5

The following issues don't really fit in with the Milestone 5 focus on Apps, but are still scheduled to get done in 0.5.

  • Theme API: make {{nextpost}} {{prevpost}} available to themes #529
  • Ugly debug upgrade tool #1260
  • Add '' CLI tool for installing from npm #1001

Milestone 6 - Version 0.6.0 - Multi-user and Localisation

Early Summer 2014

Focuses firstly on adding multi-user functionality, so that you can run a multi-author blog, along with addressing the security concerns this introduces. Secondly, on providing the tools for l10n & i18n - making it possible for you to use Ghost in your language, and to publish blogs in any language.
