With release 0.4, I had more or less implemented the features that I
could define "stand-alone" (perhaps with the exception of vhdl support.)
Since then, development depends much more on user input. If you browse
this mailing list, you will find examples of active development of
features based on suggestions and discussions with users, including
snapshots that implement those features.

In the mean time, enough new features have been implemented or defined
to warrant a new release. Still a lot to do (documentation), so it's
not immediate, but still this year.

Pick your feature: something that should be possible and that you really
need, and you can't do now. Start a discussion in this mailing list
and we'll take it from there. (Clearly specifying a feature is often
more work than implementing it.)

You can also help by doing real projects and telling the world
about it, BTW.
