LabVIEW (and other NI software products) Roadmap 2023 Q1

[EricR]

{Updated thread October 2024}

Thank you everyone for the feedback on these product roadmaps.  Going forward, public roadmaps for NI's software are now posted on the "Software Roadmaps" section of NI.com found here:https://www.ni.com/en/shop/software-portfolio/software-roadmaps.html

This site, as it calls out, will be updated quarterly, by the product managers that drive the roadmaps for these product line.

I might just be missing it but I don't see the survey or anything interactive about the roadmap. I see the PDF link though. Perhaps it's getting blocked in my browser or something. Where should the survey link be?

In the last version, there is one term, 'Dynamically create controls at runtime'. 

Why delete it？

Bert,

We added the survey link directly into the PDF.  Its in this section on the roadmap:

This is the direct URL link that clicking that "Take the Survey" button links to: https://survey.ni.com/jfe/form/SV_9oGjiLIKqpqSP0q

It was a feature that was in LabVIEW NXG that augmented some of the runtime workflows.  Originally our intention was to bring this feature into LabVIEW as well.  Its still possible that we would do this at some point, but so far in our surveys and user engagements, it hasn't come up as being something that impactful so we have removed it from our near-term roadmap in favor of other work that users were asking us for.

Thanks Eric, I was looking for it on the website.

I'm sad to see dynamically created controls is gone as well. I'm hoping the Datagrid control scratches that itch somewhat.

Thanks,  Eric.

On the contrary to "Wife's wiser", the users are not always right.

The roadmap shows that "Driver version independence from LabVIEW" is complete but the table here: https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/supplemental/22/extending-compatibility-between-labvi... shows that not all drivers support independence. The NI updates on this topic has been very misleading for end users and doesn't give a good idea of when the whole driver suite would be independent. Any updates on this topic that can provide some clarity?

Most of us already understand this.  We just don't like it.
