First time Kali Linux unveils a roadmap that highlights the changes and the new features coming to Kali Linux in the following year.
The Kali Linux team is “trying to balance our efforts between changes that are user facing and those that apply to the backend.” The backend changes don’t seem as exciting at first, but the fact is that the easier it is for us to work on Kali, the easier it is for us to get to user-facing features.
Kali Linux Roadmap
Moved to GitLab

Runtime Tests for Bug Detection
Until now, Kali Linux depends on the manual testing, and the user-provided bug reports, now they have deployed an automated system debci to co-ordinate with the execution and automated tests against packages.
The debci was deployed on autopkgtest, and the test results for those tests can be found in Kali Package Tracker.
Refreshed Metapackages
With the refreshed metapackages you can control what packages are installed on Kali by default. Other tools will exist in the repo; if required, you can install them manually or use a metapackage that contains them.
