Understood.

The complete list is at 
<https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel>.

Highlights include hooks to enable 3rd party plug-ins to enhance the 
grouper API, enhancements to grouper shell, configurable regex-based 
validation of group attributes in the API, an optional approach to avoid 
having plaintext passwords in configuration files, additional help in 
the UI, and a variety of performance and bug-related fixes across all 
components. We'll also provide a binary form of the grouper toolkit in 
addition to the usual source tarballs.
