The table below represents the list of already planned future extensions, together with the rough estimation of the program version to include them. The most of the extensions and functions shown here are the input from the community - beta testers, users, and internet forum members. We are looking forward to hearing about your wishes and ideas too!
This table comprises only the most important changes and extensions. Each version comes with a multitude of additional important improvements and fixes to simplify your design process. An upgrade to a newer version always pays off, even if you don't find anything of direct interest to you in this table.
Ticked items are already implemented and released.
