With the 3.8 release out (and it's a big improvement over 3.7), my attention is turning to futures. The first step is already started; I'm moving development to VisualWorks 7.3. There are few things that will need changing, due to underlying framework changes in VW (the Http libraries and the subscription listener). I've got a development image built, and everything seems to work fine though - I expect to have early development builds out fairly soon. So what's coming?

• On Windows, support for the Tray. Instead of "slim mode" on Windows, you'll see a tray icon. That's more in line with what Windows users expect.
• Unicode support on Mac OS 9, and possibly on OS X.
• Better image support on Linux, if we can get a working rev of gdiPlus integrated

That's the short list; I'll be taking a look at the Wish list for ideas and plans as well.
