The Umbraco Roadmap

The Block List Editor functionality is similar to the one introduced in Umbraco 8.7 and allows you to structure the content in your Heartcore backoffice in a new way. The main concept of the editor is to manage lists of blocks that represent a web page's structure, where each block is both a collection of content and a way to configure that collection to be rendered. Each content block and configuration is defined by an Element Type to make administrating and editing with the new Block List editor consistent.

The functionality will first be made available for new Umbraco Heartcore projects and then enabled for existing projects. 

Released for new projects: November 25, 2021 ✔️

Target release for upgrading existing customers: January 2022

Allow for easy integration with OAuth providers like Facebook, Google, Twitter etc. for Umbraco Members. The implementation will be similar to how it works for backoffice users and will therefore require code to be enabled.

Target release: Q1, 2022

The possibility for Standard & Professional projects on Umbraco Cloud to set static outbound IPs. 

Target release: Q1, 2022

New feature for Umbraco Forms that makes it possible for editors and administrators to edit entries submitted through Umbraco Forms.

Target release: Q1, 2022

Taking advantage of new CDN capabilities on Umbraco for serving media and content will enable you to control caching and deliver assets more efficiently. 

Umbraco will ship with the latest version of the .NET framework .NET 6 (and ASP.NET 6) which adds new features such as support for C#10.

Target release: Q2, 2022 (as part of Umbraco 10)

With persisted queries you can define and save your GraphQL queries up front, so you only allow pre-defined queries to be executed against your Content. Another benefit of having persisted queries is that the popular Apollo GraphQL client library supports this approach and will thus send a hash instead of the entire query, which might be a a big payload to send multiple times, so a lot less to send across the wire.

Once a new extension API has been proposed and accepted through the RFC process, implementation can begin in collaboration with the Backoffice Community team.

This is Part 3 of Future-proofing Umbraco's backoffice.

With a new infrastructure in place we can work towards expanding hosting capabilities to include other regions. Starting with a US-based region in addition to the current Western European region.

An improved overview of your Cloud projects in the Umbraco Cloud portal to improve project management. 

Target release: Q2, 2022

Allowing for payment to be handled by others than the project creator. 

Allows you to schedule automatic upgrades of Umbraco CMS, Forms and Deploy. You will be given a timeframe in with you can schedule the upgrade to ensure better planning and handling of automatic upgrades.

One of the strong features of the Umbraco Backoffice is the ability to extend it with custom Property Editors to fit the needs of the Content Editors. This feature will enable for Umbraco Heartcore as well.

Umbraco Uno will be enhanced with support for multiple languages in the editing interface of the backoffice. This will make it easy to work with content variations over several languages on your site.

With the launch of Umbraco Uno you are limited to one theme. We will introduce several inspirational themes with broader use-cases and a wider set of configurations to best suit your needs.

Adding support for SQLite in order to have an embedded database, cross-platform database available in Umbraco CMS. As with SQL CE, in previous versions of Umbraco, this is mainly for development purposes and has the benefit of adding easy cross-platform setup.

Targeted for release with Umbraco 10 in Q2, 2022.
