This is the message issued by a member of the Synology Staff in the Synology Community forum:

Hi fellow developers,
We’ve received several applications for 3rd-party packages over the past few days.
Again, thank you all for your passion and interest in developing packages on our platform.
Today, we’re pleased to announce that the development materials are made public now. You may find our latest developer’s guide, toolkit, toolchains, and GPL source for DSM 7.0 available on our Dev Center.
Thanks again for your continuous support for Synology.
Note: The documentation and resources here aim to help developers prepare a compatible version for the upcoming DSM 7.0 public beta, the release date of which is not yet confirmed.

Note: If the developer tool for DSM 7.0 was released a few days ago, this is good news as it means that DSM 7.0 beta is upon us.
