What's unclear about it?
Basically there's no road map, especially no official. What will
happen in one month? Two months? Half a year? The only way to get some
idea about what will happen is following the newsgroups and even doing
that you don't know what actually will end up in the compiler. You
also have to follow the commits to the repository and then it's
already too late, it has already happened.
The roadmap is 64 bit Linux, followed by shared library support under
Linux. Concurrently and for the near future, the concentration will be
on toolchain and usability issues, not new language features.
64 bits on other platforms will follow once it proves out on Linux.
Now why isn't this on the website? I mean, you have to figure out
yourself what the roadmap is by reading these posts. Until just recently
one could thought that porting optlink to C was on the roadmap (at least
as a long time goal) and I guess get up to date with TDPL. Then suddenly
out of no where we can see commits about 64bit. What happened to those?
Are they still on the roadmap?
