Just want to say thank you to @britzl for hosting the Fika today and providing a sneak peak at the 2021 roadmap, along with @Mathias_Westerdahl for running us through that test automation demo. Have a great holiday season everyone! ---

> [@britzl](#): > > - Ask Defold - Q & A > - Open discussion At the last meetup with our community sponsors we went around the table and asked the participants what some of their most highly prioritised Defold issues were. I took note of (most of?) them and also checked against the [2021 roadmap](https://github.com/defold/defold/projects/46) to make sure some of the issues were planned to be fixed this year. Here are the issues discussed during the call (the ones planned for 2021 will have a link to an issue in the roadmap): - WebP upgrade and threading - This will be fixed in the next release [when we migrate to the new texture compression pipeline](https://forum.defold.com/t/texture-compression-update-alpha-testing/67470) - Synchronous text metrics for labels - [Text metrics operations for labels should be synchronous · Issue #5556 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5556) - Externalise project encryption key - [Move and externalise encryption key · Issue #5355 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5355) - Vertex colors - [Material constants as attributes of vertices · Issue #5393 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/5393) - Sprite scale in editor - [Expose sprite scaling in editor (DEFEDIT-1051) · Issue #3981 · defold/defold · GitHub](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/3981) - New script property types: string, list, data (table) - This one is super interesting and it is something we will investigate and start designing but there are no guarantees that it will receive an implementation - Initial zoom level of collections - Problems with layers, templates and stencils If you participated in the call and don’t see your suggested issue in the list please let me know! ---
