It is a living document, which will -evolve and change over time. In particular the features in later versions are likely to be refined and change. - -We use the approach of `#now`, `#next`, `#later` [used by foursquare](https://medium.com/@noah_weiss/now-next-later-roadmaps-without-the-drudgery-1cfe65656645), with a slightly different time horizon. -Our `#now` scale is about 3 months, `#next` about 6 months, and `+later` is 12+ months. - -## Now (up to v1.3) -Our key areas for now are: -* Making Besu a First Class Client -* Istanbul Support -* State Pruning -* Disaster recovery - -### Making Besu a First Class Client - -First and foremost, we want Besu to be a first class client for usage on both mainnet and permissioned networks. -This entails maintaining compatibility with mainnet, providing permissioning features and constantly improving Besu's performance. -Some recent additions to the client have been [UPnP Support](https://docs.besu.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Configuring-Besu/Networking/Using-UPnP/) -and a [GraphQL interface](https://docs.besu.pegasys.tech/en/latest/Besu-API/GraphQL/). - -### Istanbul Support - -Besu will support the upcoming Istanbul network upgrade and implement all required EIPs as per the [Hardfork Meta: Istanbul EIP](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1679). - -### State Pruning - -State pruning will be implemented. State pruning reduces the disk space required for the Besu database by discarding outdated world state data. - -### Disaster Recovery - -Support key-value storage in relational databases to solidify a robust Disaster Recovery process.
