There is definitely one bug I want to fix before 0.21 - its the issue 
where the patch editors ask you to save changes even if you haven't 
modified anything.

I would also like an up-to-date synths list available to coincide with 
the time of the release. I'll see if this can be hosted on the project 
sf.net web page and if I have access to do this. On the subject of the 
auto-generated synths list, if i remember correctly there were two 
outstanding issues with that. 1) the "comment" field. In the long run 
this might be solved by a config file if we have modular drivers, but 
for now I think this should be solved by adding a comment field into 
every driver in the same way as the info text. the comment field can be 
called "support info" or something, and its entire purpose is to 
document the level of support of a driver for inclusion into the 
synths.html.
The other issue is that I can't remember if your auto-generation code 
could work out if we had patch /bank library/editor support or not. If 
not, maybe a filename string match could be good enough?

Also I noticed this guy Thorsten who has been updating jsynthlib a bit 
over here: http://midibox.org/forums/topic/14981-jsynthlib-update/
I'd like to look at getting his work into 0.21 so I'm going to try and 
contact him.
