Welcome back Chris 
Below is the overview section of some older roadmap notes (I’ve omitted the detail sections; some have already been brought forward into 7.x, others the approach has changed slightly)… The general idea is performance improvements and an even nicer content editing experience, which applies to everything; webtop (most likely a refresh using Material), content object editing and rich text experience, image/file asset management/uploading, etc.
If you have any of your own ideas or things that you’d like to see addressed please let us know, the feedback is always helpful 
We probably also haven’t made a big deal out of it, but almost everything we’re doing we do with Lucee and Docker, which FarCry Core has supported quite well as far back as the later 7.0.x maintenance releases. If you’re in that space then it’s easy to move forward with Docker based deployments.
