It's generally whatever people happen to implement. Walter may or may not have his own personal plan as to what he works on, but there is no overall plan whatsoever for what's going to be implemented for the next release (or any release). It's entirely a matter of what the various volunteers happen to create pull requests for and manage to get merged in. They may or may not even do anything related to existing enhancement requests. If you're looking for anything even vaguely resembling a roadmap, you're out of luck. At best, you can get a list of some of the stuff that people would _like_ to have done (like the list of currently open enhancement requests). And that may or may not have all that strong a relation with what _will_ be done at any point in the future (either because no one gets around to them or because they end up being rejected). We should probably have a list of of major issues that still need to be tackled, but we don't really have even that (other than seeing what's in bugzilla). The closest would be this page on the old wiki, but it's not exactly definitive or necessarily up-to-date: http://prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?LanguageDevel - Jonathan M Davis
