This week the Ember CLI team has published their official roadmap for the command-line tool to keep the Ember community posted on which shiny new things might be landing in an Ember app near you soon.

The current project goals for 2018 include a dedicated transition story to Module Unification, enabling Treeshaking, adding service worker support to the blueprint of Ember apps by default and many other exciting topics.

You can read more about the roadmap on the Ember Forum and give your thoughts and suggestions in the discussion.

Ember Twiddle now (finally!) uses Babel 6 instead of Babel 5 to transpile your code. Please encourage folks to test the canary so that any issues with Ember addons and existing twiddles might be found. Thanks for the update @Gaurav0!

The Learning Team merged a bunch of pull requests in emberjs/guides recently, many from first time contributors - thank you @sdhull. @rmminusrfslash, @karan-pathak and @chrisrng. The Learning Team is working on closing out outstanding issues and PRs on emberjs/guides in an effort to launch the built with Ember ember-learn/guides-app in its place! 🔜

Ember Times would like to give a shoutout to @runspired (Chris Thoburn), for being incredibly helpful and responsive in a majority of the Slack channels this last week by supporting community members migrate through the many versions of Ember data from 2.12 all the way to 3.2.0-beta.2.

Chris is a major contributor to the Ember ecosystem and to ember-data specifically. and shares his in-depth knowledge of ember-data internals to make it easier for everyone to understand why things work in a particular way and to also shed some light on how ember-data will work in the future. Thanks @runspired!

In this week's brand new Readers’ Question it's all about the new and cool and shiny that will be coming to your Ember apps soon: When will we be able to make use of the decorator syntax when writing Ember apps?

In his detailed write-up @pzuraq will answer everything you need to know about the current state of the decorators proposal itself and when you will be able to decorate your own application. Read the full answer on the offical Ember forum.
