Version Control - store history/timeline of revisions
It would be nice if there was a way to have multiple versions of a design living in one document. Right now we'll have a v1 wireframe and will be reviewing features for v2. I typically lock that version and then create a new file called v2 and start making changes. Would be nice if they could be linked somehow verses multiple file versions.

We’re working on a visual versioning system for XD documents. You could see a preview here: https://youtu.be/pf35qphKOWE?t=1h7m51s

Alternates (also sometimes referred to as versions or branches) would allow to create variations on a single mockup design without adding more mockups to your project.
Creating alternates can be useful during the early design phase when exploring concepts and in later stages for reviewers to add their feedback and propose changes.
Some possible reasons for using alternates:
You want to create only one mockup per screen but have several ideas about each one.
You want suggestions for design improvements but don’t want other people changing your mockups.
You want to send your project around for feedback and track each person’s feedback individually.
You want to try out new design ideas without including them in the mockups for the current release. -

Integration with git would be great for team collaboration.

I've seen the presentation and announcement of this feature over at Bump festival last year. Why is this still not here? This is one of many must haves.

When do you expect this feature to roll out?

if you want to use GIT, you can use the git lfs plugin
The repo/instructions are here
https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfsdisclaimer : You'll be able to push your .xd file, I don't know (yet) if the xd file format will allow you to use diff/merge
---------------------------------
wishes:
The versionning system used in sketch is elegant, same as mac time-machine, you can interact with older files and you can copy-paste elements from older version to current version. -

Even if you guys are not replicating, a plugin is needed ASAP.

Looking at systems like Pics.io, Goabstract.com, and Plantapp.io - it's pretty clear that check-out + conflict resolution will be important features in this request.
I hope you have plans to replicate some of what they're doing? It would be a game-changer to have this in-app and with cross-platform compatibility (without bootstrapping off of Dropbox or Google Drive - since those tend to be blocked by a lot of enterprises).

Is this something that is still actively being worked on and into a future release?
Lots of people are doing it for Mac & Sketch, but there is very little/anything out there for us XD (Windows users).For businesses wanting to employ a design system. Version control should be high on the list for designers and currently, it's a difficult landscape to navigate

In order to build a project/prototype easy to maintain I'm working with a single file per project.
However, it is very difficult to collaborate with the CC files as they have some random issues.
What if we had a versioning system integrated to Adobe XD?
It doesn't have to be too complex in first place but it could lead to a GREAT collaborative experience for Designers.

Very important feature for collaborating with other designers and organizing versions of the same project.

Version Control! It's a must. I think this would be an important feature for XD. Another vote for it!

Integration or new plugin with version control for designers.
Example of apps for sketch:

I would also welcome the github workflow. this would be more inline with the frontend workflow and closer to the devs …

+1 to simple versioning interface with git-like functionality
-
+1 to @myriams ideas! I seem to make duplicate artboards when iterating designs and wireframes. Would be great to somehow switch between version on the artboard level. Also great idea from @myriam to being able to choose version to navigate in i prototype mode.

Please keep Save As instead of creating a Duplicate. Perhaps provide an additional option of "Version" and then the user can decide how they best want to use the application to fit their needs or how their company may set up the file system.
