- re-enable system fonts
- improve language detection
- improve CLI usage
- Extensions
- use Python 2.7 (64bit) (provided by OS X)
- include ps2pdf, UniConvertor
- include dbus (without launchd support) (0.91)
- offer packages (installer) for additional extensions and required dependencies
- User data (OS X guidelines <-> XDG spec)
- inkscape profile folder in "$HOME/Library/Application Support/"
- caches in "$HOME/Library/Caches"
Future
- Packages based on GTK3/Quartz
- OS X integration based on native GTK3 features
- support for HiDPI resolutions
- multi-threading (OpenMP support in future version of clang)
