Hi KSP friends — I know it’s generally faux-pax to ask about product roadmaps (I have Chet Haase in my head, _“We don’t talk about the future_”), but I wanted to ask about the plan for KSP to graduate to alpha (or something less experimental) in 2021 (or beyond).

I’m sure there’s blocking upstream compiler work that needs to land — are there tickets on Jetbrains’ side that I can follow to get a better sense of when KSP might have a chance of moving up the stability ladder?

We aim to finish implementing multiple rounds and incremental processing in January or February. There is one PR under review in upstream. The alpha release depends on that and won't be earlier than 1.4.30.

Okay, so theoretically we could see something in Q2ish? That’s good to know, thank you!

Thanks for asking, Parth - this question was why I joined the slack server 😄

Q2 should be a safe estimation, if not happening in Q1.

👍🏾 much appreciated! I have an app that I’m writing that will launch in Q1, so I’m 🤞🏾 that I could potentially get rid of KAPT in 90% of my modules. It’d be a dream come true!
