[SailfishDevel] Update on SailfishOS roadmap

[Luciano Montanaro]

Any information you can share about upcoming Silica changes, API wise,
or development wise? I do not care about changes in look, just changes
I should be aware when I create a program for the Sailfish platform.
I ask, because there are hints of the changes, and it looks like they
are important:
The scalable icon stuff, and the horizontalPageMargin thing I can get
no documentation about, for example.

Best regards,
Luciano
