 # Roadmap ibc-go
 
-_Lastest update: October 3, 2022_
+_Lastest update: December 9, 2022_
 
 This document endeavours to inform the wider IBC community about plans and priorities for work on ibc-go by the team at Interchain GmbH. It is intended to broadly inform all users of ibc-go, including developers and operators of IBC, relayer, chain and wallet applications.
 
 This roadmap should be read as a high-level guide, rather than a commitment to schedules and deliverables. The degree of specificity is inversely proportional to the timeline. We will update this document periodically to reflect the status and plans.
 
-## v6.0.0
-
-### Interchain Accounts improvements
-
-These improvements tackle two shortcomings of the current implementation of ICS-27:
-
-- The lack of a default/standard underlying app (also known as _authentication module_), which created a bottleneck for chains looking to integrate the controller submodule.
-- The need to separate application and authentication concerns.
-
-The changes will make integrating the controller chain functionality easier (see [ADR 009](../architecture/adr-009-v6-ics27-msgserver.md) for more information), and with the release of Cosmos SDK v0.46.x, they will enable any Cosmos SDK module (e.g `x/auth`, `x/gov`, `x/group`) to register interchain accounts and send transactions on their behalf. 
-
-For more details about these changes, please read [this blog post](https://medium.com/the-interchain-foundation/ibc-go-v6-changes-to-interchain-accounts-and-how-it-impacts-your-chain-806c185300d7).
-
-### Other features/improvements
-
-- ICS-20:
-  - Adding a `metadata` field in `FungibleTokenPacketData` (implementation of [this](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/pull/842) spec update).
-  - Adding the sequence number of the packet sent to `MsgTransferResponse`.
-- 04-channel:
-  - Simplify `SendPacket` API (implementation of [this](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc/pull/731) spec update).
-

 ### Localhost connection
 
 This feature will add support for applications on a chain to communicate with applications on the same chain using the existing standard interface to communicate with applications on remote chains.
 
 For more details, see the design proposal and discussion [here](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/discussions/2191). Issues need still to be created and will be added to the [`v7.0.0` milestone](https://github.com/cosmos/ibc-go/milestone/34).
