We've pretty much finished the actual coding of upcoming release, version 3.70. Or it's more like we have to seize adding new features now if it's going to be released this month.
Few of the initially planned features actually needed to be postponed for later, for example skiing NPCs. However, as there's now snow penalty functioning for NPCs and animals it will be kind of like payback time version. See, NPCs have been trudging through the snow ever so easily for many versions, but our skiing characters really have an advantage - for at least sometime.
It's likely that 3.70 will be first released as beta version, and it will still grow with lesser features as we continue to work towards the final stable release.
If nothing too complicated comes up with our test runs we'll start wrapping the release up in a week or two.
