Quite a bit, actually :-)

Still under heavy development, so I would not call for a freeze right now.

That, yes. In real feature branches, please, not in a generic "testing" branch. Like \
rempt-T125-brushtip-editor, i.e., author, task, topic.

Not yet, there is so much broken that that just means commiting fixes in two places.

And me... And the spriter plugin.

The move is done, I still want to rename krita/krita to krita/apps, but we can start \
thinking of splitting up libraries.

Mostly opengl, and it's not just for OSX, but also for Windows.

4) Port to Vc 1.0
5) Not sure -- there's a bunch of tasks in phabricator, some of them should be \
planned for 3.0, but I need to triage them.

Separate branch, but merged to master when ready. For 3.x, I think we'll be having \
feature releases every month, just like we had with 2.9 for a period. We need to get \
the kickstarter features in the hands of users as quickly as possible.
