Kerbalism 4 is an almost complete rewrite of Kerbalism. The main motivation is that the current version (3.x) has seen a lot of contributions on top of the original codebase, from a lot of people and without a clear plan. A lot of the current features are built on top of a codebase that was never meant to become that large and complex. The result has become very hard to work with and maintain, and there are long standing issues/limitations that can't really be fixed.
Progress tracking is done mainly through the projects page.
In terms of major changes, the goal for the initial release are to provide feature parity with the 3.x branch with the notable exception that we are likely scrapping the whole Reliability/Failures features (see #3)
