The November 2024 release of DM v.3.1 concludes the current five-year phase of funded DM development. 

However, a DM v.4 is already being planned, with new grants and funding applications in the works. 

DM 4.0 will feature several functional refinements, and one major new developmental goal, with backwards compatibility to current DM projects:

• Accessibility: implement universal design strategies to allow DM projects to be accessible to the widest audience possible with regards to physical abilities/disabilities. 

Timeline: pending funding, work for v. 4.0 would begin in 2026.
