having a look at
http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/DEV/KiCad+Development
I have collected some of the new nice additions, likely not all.

I would also be nice if we had an announcement about the new stable
release with a list of new features such as 64 layers, openGL
rendering,
P&S routing, etc.

Yes, it would be nice to have the website updated.
Kicad could have a lot of media coverage given the vast
improvements
over the last release and we will need (besides bugfixing) some
appealing screenshots and videos.
If I can I'll prepare screenshots from hackrf, ubertooth, etc for
you
guys to review.
Best regards

Can we possibly get this done before the stable release which
hopefully
will be some time near the end of July? It would be nice to
roll
this
out around the same time.
Thanks,
Wayne
