  1. I would take a look at the testing area just to check out all of the new development on the beta channel. This will give you an idea of what's coming soon to the stable channel.

  2. There is not a public roadmap if that's what you're asking. But it's pretty easy to know what will be new in the next release by following the BETA (installing or just reading about). As an Example following the Beta trail you would know the next release server has changed Music scanning to be basically 100% tagged based making it far easier to control what shows up in Emby. It will have a combined up next and continue functionality. It also has a redone Collections mechanism making it much easier to move media without worry of breaking existing collections. A long requested addition of tone mapping has been added that works great for 4K HDR to SDR has been added as well. We have also recently added database caching and optimizations that make the system faster especially for larger systems. Then of course there are many smaller fixes/changes as well. So yes there are many significant changes in the Beta. I would suggest NOT running BETA on your production server UNLESS you pre-test it first (portable version is great for this). Sometimes a Beta/Test version might add something "half done" that needs testing as this could break functionality if used on Production. The continue/next up is an example of this. For some people this is not a big deal and for others would be a major inconvenience. If you pre-test yourself with a portable version you can make sure any Beta is "worthy" or if you should wait for the next Beta. So if you do run the Beta on production turn off automatic updates and manually manage this based on your private testing. Many of the newer betas make changes to the database for improved performance and this makes roll-back to a previous version impossible unless you have a "full backup" including databases.
