Drupal has no formal roadmap.  The reason is long and heavily discussed at 
times, but boils down to "this is an open source project.  What gets into the 
next version is what gets written, and we don't know what will get written 
until someone volunteers to write it."  Plus, so much functionality comes 
from contributed modules that they'd each need separate roadmaps.

Each version announcement includes a "What's New" list, and you can see a list 
of what changed for developers in each version here:

The 7.7 -> HEAD page is a work in progress as new patches get added, of 
course.  You can also see the issue queue to see what people are actively 
working on.  Active threads are usually a good sign that something will get 
in eventually, although it's not guaranteed.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
