Disclaimer / Important Notes
The Roadmap below includes 'major' or noteworthy features. TASS continues to release software updates that include functional enhancements and bug fixes - these will be detailed in the Release Notes when the version is published.
The roadmap is a living document and is subject to change due to various factors that influence prioritisation.
This is not a definitive list. There will be some features released that will not be represented here, but will be available in the Release Notes as they come to fruition.
The majority of items in this roadmap are behind Feature Flags during development. They are sometimes completed before the scheduled release version. If you would like to test these features, please contact TASS Customer Care to enable them for you.
The rolling roadmap continually moves left and is adjusted as time passes. We regularly update the Roadmap to align with our development release lifecycle.
A Feature Flag is a development concept that allows new functionality to be added to the software while keeping it hidden from general use until it's fully ready for customer consumption, helping to ensure a smooth and controlled rollout of new features.
