## Feature Requests

If you have a feature request, please submit it as an issue in our GitHub repository with the "feature request" label. Include a detailed description of the feature, its potential benefits, and any relevant use cases.

## Priority Adjustment

This roadmap is subject to change based on user feedback and community needs. We prioritize features based on:

1. User demand and feedback
2. Strategic alignment with project goals
3. Implementation complexity and resource requirements
4. Security considerations
5. Dependency on other features

## Release Process

We follow a predictable release cycle:

- **Patch releases** (e.g., 1.0.1): Bug fixes and minor improvements, released as needed
- **Minor releases** (e.g., 1.1.0): New features and enhancements, released approximately every 4-6 weeks
- **Major releases** (e.g., 2.0.0): Significant changes that may include breaking changes, released 2-3 times per year

Each major and minor release will be preceded by at least one release candidate (RC) for testing.

## Contributing to the Roadmap

We welcome community involvement in shaping this roadmap. If you're interested in contributing to any of these features or have suggestions for the roadmap, please:

1. Join the discussion in our community forums
2. Submit detailed proposals for feature implementation
3. Contribute code through pull requests (see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md))

Thank you for your interest in the future of DynamoDNS!
