FDT 4 Comfort
FDT4 is about making your development experience as comfortable as possible, having a smooth workflow, simplifying your development experience while increasing your productivity. Fast. Lightweight. Easy.
We are very excited about this release, FDT4 is going to be the best release in Powerflasher history!
Our Approach
During the last year we went around the world and asked you about what we should do next.
We enjoy working with you and believe your contribution is priceless! As a result, we will continue working close with you in a truly open environment.
We will start by publishing the FDT 4 roadmap and making the releases publicly available. Together we'll make history in the flash development world!

Milestones Roadmap
The Powerflasher Agency and the FDT team are a big advocate and adopter of Agile software development practices. We have decided to make our internal FDT4 iterations/sprints as Milestones public.
We will bring out FDT 4 iteratively. Every milestone will contain new working features ready to be used in order to receive your feedback.
In the following chart you can see the planned FDT4 milestones and associated main features. Once all milestones are released, we will have time to wrap up and build a final FDT4 release including all features you asked us for and give us enough buffer time to accommodate any additional feedback you might have.

In parallel to our planned milestones we will have an open playground. We will publish some experimental extensions for FDT and document an SDK to empower you to create your own FDT plug-ins. If you have any cool FDT plug-in ideas, or are interested in collaborating, please let us know.
