# Tink Feature Roadmap

(_based on Bazel Feature Roadmap_)

This document describes the Tink team's plans for introducing features. Note
that this roadmap only includes features that the Tink team itself intends to
support. We anticipate that a number of other features will be added by code
contributors.

In the following list, each feature is associated with a corresponding
milestone. The convention for the priorities are:

*   **P0** feature will block the milestone; we will delay the milestone date
    until the feature is shipped.

*   **P1** feature can delay the milestone if the feature can be shipped with a
    reasonable delay.

*   **P2** feature will be dropped and rescheduled for later rather than
    delaying the milestone. We will update this list when reaching each
    milestone; some milestones may also be refined if appropriate.
