Now that the Q1 2015 Service Pack is out, we are in the mainstream of development for Q2 2015. We’ve just updated our roadmap page to let you know what’s already cooking and what you can expect. It’s all based on your feedback so far. In this post, I will highlight a few features.

I am excited to tell you that the CTP of Telerik Report Server is public, and you can download it immediately to give it a spin. Although it's far from full-featured, we'd love to hear what you think about the path we’ve taken so far.

You probably heard the news about the availability of a free version of Visual Studio 2013 a few weeks ago. This announcement was quite exciting, because (for the first time) is Microsoft is trying to really offer the great .NET framework and associated tools to indie developers, smaller dev shops and students. Probably the most important part of the announcement (for us) is that the Community version allows extensions. Adding extensions was not possible with the previous free editions of Visual Studio, a.k.a. the Express editions. If you wanted to use a third-party product in your daily development (like Telerik DevCraft), you had to buy a non-Express edition of Visual Studio. Today, if you are playing solo or you are part of a team with up to five developers, you can save that cash and just use the latest and greatest of Visual Studio with your favorite Telerik tools and extensions (plus any other third-party tools, of course). Will Telerik DevCraft tools work with it? Yes. All of the Telerik .NET tools work with Visual Studio Community 2013.

A new year is coming, and we have a bunch of new exciting features to work on. See what we plan to release in 2015, in Q1 and later on. Find your favorite feature and share your feedback on the roadmap.

Wait no more, check out what’s included in the just-released version of Telerik Reporting in Q3 2014.
