## Roadmap
## Features/Roadmap
Graphite does not use formal version numbers because of the constant rate of feature development and continuous release cycle. Changes can be tracked by [commit hash](https://github.com/GraphiteEditor/Graphite/commits/master). Development is broken into [monthly sprints](https://github.com/GraphiteEditor/Graphite/milestones) and less frequent release series based on major technology readiness milestones:
- Alpha Milestone 1 is the current release series available at [editor.graphite.rs](https://editor.graphite.rs) which encompasses minimum-viable-product (MVP) vector editing features. Features and improvements are continually added and deployed. Regrettably, file format stability isn't guaranteed at this stage since it would prohibitively hinder the pace of development.
- Alpha Milestone 2 is the next release series. It will introduce the node graph system for procedural vector editing. Late summer is the optimistic target.
- Alpha Milestone 3 will probably focus on switching to an in-house vector graphics render engine built on [wgpu](https://wgpu.rs/).
- Alpha Milestone 4 will probably introduce raster compositing.
- Beta versions will follow once basic procedural vector and raster editing is fully supported. File format stability, authoring + sharing custom nodes/extensions, and a downloadable native desktop client will be included during or before Beta.
- RAW photo editing, advanced color handling, automation and batch processing, and procedural painting workflows will be added during further Beta development.
