Roadmap
The next release will be 10.2.4 in August and will be a maintenance release. A maintenance release is required to address a security vulnerability which was recently submitted to the Oqtane Security Center. Following 10.2.4 will be a 10.3 release in September/October which will be a major release focused on Folder Providers.
Folder Providers provide the ability to store content files outside of the Oqtane installation. Folder Providers complement the "scale-out" story which was implemented in 10.2. Ben Zhong submitted a PR (#6064) containing an implementation for Folder Providers a number of months ago and it is expected to be merged/optimized for the 10.3 release.
Events
The recordings from the 2026 Trailblazor Conference have been published to YouTube and are now available for viewing. The focus of the event was on creativity and innovation in the Microsoft ecosystem and featured 5 speakers from Microsoft (Daniel Roth, David Ortinau, Adam Ratzman, Brady Gaster, Luis Quintanilla) and 5 speakers from the .NET community (Shriram Sankaran, Scott Galloway, Shaun Walker, Rocky Lhotka, Michael Washington).
A webinar titled "A Brief History of GenAI" will be presented by Shaun Walker on August 26, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. GenAI traces its roots all the way back to the 1940's but only recently exploded into everyday life within the past couple years. In this session we will cover the researchers, institutions, entrepreneurs, companies, and innovations which transformed a set of primitive theories and algorithms into intelligent systems that can learn and extract insights from vast amounts of data without explicit instructions. Registration is open to everyone.
