For those curious keep and eye on the 'next' branch, or the nightly builds.

The 'next' branch will build towards the next Development Preview release, and ultimately the next LTS. As always, nightly builds of the next branch are available at [http://download.flightgear.org/builds/nightly/ download.flightgear.org].
