First, look for a few patch/minor releases over the next few months. We want to be sure that all teams using Strongback can quickly get all the latest fixes. To that end, upgrading Strongback is very easy (just download the new distribution and extract over the top of your existing installation), and we are very careful to maintain backward compatibility of our APIs.
And to prepare for the 2016, Team 4931 (who founded Strongback) are participating in the 2016 WPILib Beta program so that, over the next few months, not only can we help test the WPILib software but we can also make sure Strongback is ready come kickoff. But even if we were to release Strongback early, we're not going to see the
official 2016 WPILib software until everyone else does on kickoff day, and only then can we verify that the latest released version of Strongback works with it or, if there are problems, release another version.
