** Replace Gtk::Tooltips by Gtk::Tooltip since the first is deprecated and doesn't work fine on treeviews.

Nota : The following list of features will NOT be subject for polishing for 1.0, but will be available as "experimental features":
There is '''''no specific roadmap''''', we just work on whatever happens to catch our interest. So far, we've made releases once there are a reasonable number of new fixes and/or features. This usually occurs every 6 months or so. Please see the {{l|Release|release}} page for the process we go through when releasing. Please see the {{l|Wish list|wishlist}} page if you have some ideas. Please see {{l|Software roadmap}} for things we want to do with synfig at some point.

* SFG container
 
+
* MyPaint integration
As an open source project, synfig is relatively young. As a result, it has lots of creases that need to be ironed out. The copyright is sorted, the code compiles fine, but there are warts when running the code and important features that are missing. To smooth out those warts, we need people to help out. We cannot do everything ourselves, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
+
* Frame-by-frame animation tools

(we will focus on them after 1.0 release)
