ManageIQ is getting ready to release an alpha version of the Jansa release. Additionally, we are moving to a faster release cadence - approximately once every 3 months to keep up with the rate of change of all the providers that ManageIQ interacts with. We hope to release Jansa GA by June and the K-release by September. You will notice new milestones in the ManageIQ community to help us keep track of the features being planned for a particular release. The milestones and the roadmap should help keep us all on track!
