Our goal for OpenFL 9 is to establish a stable baseline. We will then (after the release) split up work for improved performance and stability. Internally we have separated OpenFL into multiple “packages” to help the development effort so we can reduce scope, simplify complexity and assign more ownership to active contributors.
Usually we discuss library development on Discord but I would like to open it up here as many developers said in the poll they are interested in helping more with OpenFL. Here are some items left before OpenFL is ready for release:
