Owncast

Owncast public roadmap

While nothing is set in stone, Owncast tries to set a relatively clear roadmap for future work and features. This enables the project to discuss things far in advance to make the best possible decisions as well as allowing Owncast users to know what types of updates they can expect.

As time goes on planning for specific releases get more detailed, and it's very common for additional, smaller, releases to get slipped in between larger features to fix bugs and address feedback.

Current Milestone: v0.1.1 - Bug fixes + Small updates

v0.1.1 Feedback updates & bug fixes

With all the big changes in v0.1.1 a dedicated release for bug fixes and addressing feedback is likely needed. See milestone.

v0.2.0 Backend refactor and feature prep

Much like the frontend was refactored, it's time to reorganize and clean up the architecture of the backend. See milestone.

v0.3.0 Scheduled streams

Add the ability to schedule future streams and enable features that take advantage of scheduling. See milestone.

v0.4.0 Stream Clips

Add support for viewers being able to replay clips of previous streams. See milestone.

v0.5.0 Federated Instance Follows

Allow an Owncast instance to follow other Owncast instances and federate stream state and schedule. See milestone.
