preCICE applies Semantic Versioning, introducing new functionality in minor and major releases. A minor release does not mean fewer changes than a major release, it only means that we add new functionality while keeping backwards compatibility. We release breaking changes only every few years, giving you time to focus on your project, keeping updates easy.
In this page, you can find information about features that we plan to introduce in next releases. This is not meant to be a strict schedule, but rather a hint on the directions that preCICE is heading towards. We also have a few issue milestones, which are updated more often. Issues and work packages of bigger features are generally grouped in projects.
If you are looking for features introduced already in the past, have a look at our Changelog.

On our list
- Tutorials for electromagnetics
- Support multiple
Participantinstances simultaneously - Windows support
- Two-level initialization enabled by default. This feature was introduced in preCICE v2.0, but is currently switched off by default as not all use cases are supported yet.
- In-memory communication for volume-coupled problems
- Non-mesh-related global data exchange
- A general mocked interface for testing
- Data compression for waveform relaxation
