Roadmap
Xamarin.Essentials follows a three week sprint that many teams at Microsoft follow. We plan on shipping new features when they are ready and try to release every 6-12 weeks. Patch releases are prioritized based on feedback and severity.
Xamarin.Essentials follows a standard semantic version numbering [major].[minor].[path].
Our current focus on Xamarin.Essentials is on feature stability first and foremost. This means that we prioritize fixing any issues in the current API and extending existing APIs with new features and optimizations.
Our next major milestone theme is File Based APIs. This focus is on adding additional functionality around files and media.
To enable faster development and feedback we release features under feature flags for developers to try and test. While under a feature flag the functionality or API may change.
The best way to keep up to date with releases is to follow our Milestones.
