This is the roadmap that Load Impact k6 developers are focused on. Release dates for any specific item in the roadmap will in general not be communicated before hand. Support and bug fixing is also part of the k6 team's responsibility and is being worked on in addition to the below listed features and thus has an effect on the amount of these items that will be delivered in 2019. The items are listed in priority (top-down), but priorities might change depending on several factors, not the least being feedback from the k6 community.
