Hi dear PMCs, I would like to reactivate this discussion, because we (our team) are wondering if there is still a roadmap for the forthcoming releases somewhere. The https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Release+Schedule confluence page contains very few (not say no) information about this.
Am I missing something or did something change for the release management?
