## Road Map
One thing related to the ABP v1.0 release is .NET Core / ASP.NET Core 3.0 releases. According to the [.NET Core road map](https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/master/roadmap.md), 3.0 release has been scheduled for September 2019.
ASP.NET Core comes with big changes and features. As a big breaking change, it will [only run on .NET Core](https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/324) (dropping .net standard support), so it can not work with full .net framework.
We had declared before to release v1.0 in 2019 Q2. The main works we should do are;
* Fill the gaps in current features.
* Refactor & improve the current APIs.
* Fix known bugs.
* Complete the documentation & tutorials.
In addition to the work we should do, we are also considering to wait ASP.NET Core 3.0 release. Because, if we release ABP v1.0 before ASP.NET Core 3.0, we will have to release ABP v2.0 again in a short time and drop v1.0 support.
