 ## Roadmap
 
 - AutoGen 0.2 - This is the current stable release of AutoGen. We will continue to accept bug fixes and minor enhancements to this version.
-- AutoGen 0.4 - This is the first release of the new architecture. This release is still in _preview_. We will be focusing on the stability of the interfaces, documentation, tutorials, samples, and a collection of built-in agents which you can use. We are excited to work with our community to define the future of AutoGen. We are looking for feedback and contributions to help shape the future of this project. Here are some major planned items:
-    - More programming languages (e.g., TypeScript)
-    - More built-in agents and multi-agent workflows
-    - Deployment of distributed agents
-    - Re-implementation/migration of AutoGen Studio
-    - Integration with other agent frameworks and data sources
-    - Advanced RAG techniques and memory services

 We are aware that there are thousands of forks of AutoGen, including many for personal development and startups building with or on top of the library. We are not involved with any of these forks and are not aware of any plans related to them.
 
 ### What is the status of the license and open source?
 
 Our project remains fully open-source and accessible to everyone. We understand that some forks use different licenses to align with different interests. We will continue to use the most permissive license (MIT) for the project.
 
 ### Can you clarify the current state of the packages?
+
 Currently, we are unable to make releases to the `pyautogen` package via Pypi due to a change to package ownership that was done without our involvement. Additionally, we are moving to using multiple packages to align with the new design. Please see details [here](https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/dev/packages/index.html).
