# Podman Roadmap
|
|
|
|
The Podman development team reviews feature requests from its various stakeholders for consideration
|
|
quarterly. Podman maintainers then prioritize these features. Top features are then assigned to
|
|
one or more engineers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Future feature considerations
|
|
|
|
The following features are of general importantance to Podman. While these features have no timeline
|
|
associated with them yet, they will likely be on future quarterly milestones.
|
|
|
|
* Further improvements to `podman machine` to better support Podman Desktop and other developer usecases.
|
|
- Smoother upgrade process for Podman machine operating system (OS) images
|
|
- Convergence of WSL technologies with other providers including its OS
|
|
* Remote client support for OCI artifacts and its RESTFUL API
|
|
* Integration of composefs
|
|
* Ongoing work around partial pull support (zstd:chunked)
|
|
* Improved support for the BuildKit API.
|
|
* Performance and stability improvements.
|
|
* Reductions to the size of the Podman binary.
|
|
