There is this tracker issue for Kolab 3.5:
https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4563
but I think it is more a wish list rather than a roadmap.

We talked about it on IRC. Jeroen is very busy with the infrastructure
of the Kolab and KolabNow servers at the moment.

I guess since it is the community version, the community (that means
us) need to help more with the release so that it can happen.

Things still to figure out:
* dependancy on composer: causes packages not to build for OpenSUSE.
Any volunteers? I think I fixed it for Debian.
* creating a 3.5 branch on OBS, and moving released packages there. We
cannot just take Kolab Development because it is now updated directly
from git master, not only for release tags. This is something only
Jeroen can do?
* Debian apache problems:
https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2050 This happens for me now
even during installation, so my automatic tests of Kolab Development
hang and don't finish.
* regarding https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4565: Supported
Upgrades: Dirk was working on that, but I did not see the results yet.
We have started the documentation but not finished:
https://docs.kolab.org/upgrade-guide/kolab-3.5.html
* release notes, etc

I am continually running basic tests on CentOS7 with Kolab
Development, and they currently succeed if there is no LXC problem on
the build host...

Again, the 3.5 release will be different from Kolab Development.

I am CCing the devel list, perhaps we should continue discussing the
technical side of the release there?

All the best,
