Changes / New Features

Limesurvey 3 will be (another) major rewrite, see Limesurvey 3 wiki page for more details.

• Extended plugin architecture with separation of authentification and authorization and JSON configuration file.
• Extended installer
• New DB layout for translations

Limesurvey 2.51.0 and onward

As Sam's dev branch is aborted, we need to come up with a new roadmap.

Current pipeline:

• Question object types
• Further improvements of the admin interface

Question objec types will break backwards compatibility, so it will bump the major version up to 3.0.0.
