+# Aspire Roadmap - Q1 2026 Update (March 2026)
+
+Since our [December 2025 update](https://github.com/dotnet/aspire/discussions/12810), we've shipped **Aspire 13.2** (March 2026). This post summarizes our progress against the [original roadmap](https://github.com/dotnet/aspire/discussions/10644) and highlights what's next.
+
+## 🎉 Major Accomplishments
+
+**Aspire 13.0** marked a transformational shift from a .NET-exclusive tool to a **full polyglot application platform**, elevating Python and JavaScript to first-class status alongside .NET.
+
+**Aspire 13.1** introduced comprehensive **AI coding agent support** through MCP integration and stabilized several key features.
+
+**Aspire 13.2** focused on **tooling polish and infrastructure hardening** — shipping the long-awaited `aspire doctor` diagnostics command, `aspire certs` certificate management, Homebrew and WinGet packaging for frictionless installation, and the aspire-managed unified binary. Azure AI Foundry Agent support also shipped this cycle.
+
+**Rebranded to Aspire** - We've dropped the ".NET" prefix to reflect our polyglot future. Same great tool, broader vision.

+
+## 🔮 Looking Ahead
+
+**Testing** remains our largest gap. We're actively experimenting with new testing experiences to make tests behave consistently across local development, CI, and different operating systems. More details coming soon.
+
+**Running a subset of Aspire resources** is critical for larger projects. We're making good progress with prototypes and targeting a Q2 ship. **Multi-repo support** continues to be a popular community ask, especially for enterprise teams with distributed codebases. Similarly, **dashboard persistence** (external storage for telemetry) remains on our radar.
+
+**Debugging in containers** is one of our most popular asks and we're committed to tackling it in 2026. This requires engineering work in both Visual Studio and VS Code to make the experience as seamless as we want it to be.
+
+We're continuing to expand **`aspire do`** to cover more end-to-end scenarios across the full development lifecycle, from environment setup and dependency installation through testing, building, deployment, and environment promotion. GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps pipeline generation are the next priorities here.
+
+Finally, **AI workflows** continue to evolve rapidly. With Azure AI Foundry Agent support now shipped, we're focused on deepening AI coding agent integration and expanding what the MCP server can do for your development workflow.
