Roadmap and releases

You can see a rough development roadmap in the Milestones sections. It is open for changes and input from the community, your ideas and questions are welcome.

Kimai uses a rolling release concept for delivering updates. You don't have to wait for the next official release, upgrade it at any time from the master branch, which is always deployable - release tags are simple snapshots of the development version.

Release versions will be created on a regular base (approx. one release every 2 months). Every code change, whether it's a new feature or a bugfix, will be done on the master branch. Kimai is actively developed in my spare time, I put my effort into the software instead of backporting changes.
