Toward Vagrant 3.0

In order to support its growing ecosystem and community as we move toward the 3.0 release, we are making changes to Vagrant that will maintain its Ruby-based features while being ported to Go.

In pursuing the goal to continue improving Vagrant, we discovered a path that would allow Vagrant to be ported to Go and still support its Ruby-based features.

Moving forward, other Go libraries will allow Vagrant to accommodate a wide variety of new plugins.

Once these plugins are externalized, you will be able to upgrade provider and provisioner plugins independent of Vagrant.

From a new Go-based implementation to the externalization of plugins, we are designing Vagrant 3.0 to provide a foundation to integrate with new developer environments while maintaining the environments of the last decade.
