Do those things include some fixes for PS-renderer and PS-auto-hinter?
(AFAIK Stem3 hint was in TODO list, etc.)

I have great progress with hinting of several Type1 fonts. And even with FT 
2.0.9, some of them display great (much btter than MS Times New Roman or 
other web fonts, for example)
I need some direction/guidelines for further development :-)
