Roadmap

This is a living document that outlines the team's high-level priorities for 2019. The purpose of this document is to let the community know where xterm.js is going and to help the team focus on the priorities.

Improving the API

• Finalize and ship the new Addons API #1128
• New APIs

Building the fastest JS terminal

• Finishing off improvements to the buffer #1920
• Introduce a WebGL renderer addon #1790

Providing a rich feature set

• Add the ability to decorate ranges of text #1852
• Provide different unicode definitions as addons #1709
• Support true color #484

Lowering the maintenance burden

• Automate the release process #1921
