B2G/Roadmap
This is an overview of the current Firefox OS product roadmap. Information on this page is subject to frequent updates and changes.
Release to Partner (RTP) dates
RTP means Release To Partner. At this date, a development package is handed over to the chipset vendor to stabilize the release for productization.
- FxOS 1.2 Feature Complete (FC) date: September 15, 2013 [completed]
- FxOS 1.3 FC date: December 9, 2013 [completed]
- FxOS 1.4 RTP date: April 25, 2014 [TBD]
- FxOS Release RTP date: July 18, 2014 [TBD]
- FxOS Release RTP date: Oct 10, 2014 [TBD]
- FxOS Release RTP date: Jan 2, 2015 [TBD]
Disclaimer: Future RTP dates are subject to change, based on changes in the productization timelines.
The current planning is to continue with FxOS releases every 12 weeks, aligned with the Firefox/Gecko release trains. At any given time trunk is open for feature development, and we are in parallel converging one release for productization.
Feature backlog
We maintain a public backlog [1] of features for Firefox OS. Our engineering community of Mozilla engineers, partner engineers and contributors pick and prioritize features from this backlog. To propose additions to the backlog, please contact ffos-product@mozilla.org.
Upcoming releases
We have committed a number of features for each of our upcoming releases. We are confident that these features will make the RC (release candidate) dates for each respective release. In addition, we have a backlog of features we are working on that will make the next available train and might land in FxOS 1.3, 1.4 or later depending on when they are stable enough to be turned on by default.
