WordPress Studio roadmap

WordPress Studio is an open source local development app, with community input driving what we build. While we don’t commit to specific release dates, we aim to ship two releases per month: one focused on bug fixes and performance, and one introducing new features or capabilities. Occasionally, a release may take longer than two weeks if it includes a significant feature.

Xdebug

Xdebug support is coming to Studio — a feature many developers have been asking for. You’ll be able to step through code, inspect variables, and debug local sites without relying on var_dump() or guesswork.
