I'll have to go through things in more detail, but off the top of my
head:
1) Completion of the gnome-vfs bindings. We have to ship our own
library to implement the functions that are currently missing.
So instead of being architecture independent, we have to ship
a version for each architecture.
2) The new FileChooser/FileFiter. We have a non-standard, semi-custom
file selector right now to get around some of the current selector's
deficiencies.
3) Fulling working TreeModelSort. A lot of strange things happening
here. Several people (including me) have submitted patches against
some of the segfaults in this area, but I'm not sure we have them
all yet. And these patches are still in CVS, and have not made it
to an actual release yet.
4) New TreeView enhancements. The speed ups to to fixed height cells
would are critical. Looping through every element in a database of
100,000 people to calculate cell height takes a long time.
5) TreeModelFilter - right now we are faking this by building and
rebuilding TreeStores. This is really painful.
6) ComboBox/ComboBoxEntry changes.
Besides the completion of gnome-vfs, the biggest issue for us is moving
away from TreeStores to our own custom TreeView. Lack of filtering and a
working TreeModelSort are holding us back and preventing us from
handling the database sizes our users are requesting. Since GRAMPS is a
genealogy program, users have databases ranging in size from about 100
to 100,000. The TreeStore just can't handle things of that size, and it
requires us to keep two copies of the data - the real copy and the data
we load into TreeStore.
