Roadmap - audacity/audacity GitHub Wiki
Audacity is currently undergoing a massive code restructuring. As such, it is difficult to make any predictions and concrete plans beyond the near-term future.
That said, these are the main features we want to add to upcoming releases:
3.x
Audacity 3.x development has culminated with Audacity 3.6. Any future 3.x releases will mainly focus on stabilization.
4.0
- Replatform from wxWidgets to Qt done, giving Audacity (finally!) a new look and alleviating many UI/UX problems
- Code restructuring mostly done
4.x
Starting with 4.0, we will try to implement some DAW functionality (eg proper MIDI support, Automation, VSTi) into Audacity while still remaining easy-to-use.
