A new text rendering & layout engine for PM, probably based on FreeType + Harbuzz, to replace the out-of-date and no-longer-maintained Innotek Font Engine. Probably only available as a development library, not a runtime replacement like Ft2LIB (which was a cool idea but just not stable enough). Hopefully this could allow us to finally retire FT2LIB for apps like OpenOffice, for which it is still an anchor around the neck. (If really ambitious it could be the basis for a new Unicode-capable widget library for PM-based apps like PMMail or ProNews.) This is one of the big three things that I've long wanted to try tackling myself, but I just don't have the time right now.
UEFI and GPT support.
An IPv6 stack.
Already mentioned by others:
- A solution for the shared memory problem.
- USB3.
- New WiFi drivers for modern adapters.
