This list is changing often, but it should give you an idea of what you'll see in new versions:
- Reduce memory consumed by BG3, especially in "Tray" mode
- Add config options for multiple fast-switch servers
- Add the ability to save multiple servers and multiple accounts into lists, so you can switch quickly between them.
- If you can put down multiple servers, add the ability to Ping them before connecting and choose the fastest one.
- Add support for more than one connection at once, meaning multiple sets of settings (one for each instance). Limit multiple connections to 3 to prevent possible warring/massloading.
- Add built-in, optional Anti-Flooding parameters (if your own bot doesn't have good ones).
- Add support for more bots and their modes of connecting, such as nbbot
- Better error handling, including Messages on what's going wrong with a connection
- Maybe, someday, add D2 LoD or Realm support :)
- Add support for bnetd and D2GS - variants of FSGS that people have developed.
- Improve clarity of error messages for BGkeys and program-related errors
- Add settings for size of event screen buffer, and a button to clear the buffer
- Enhance debug mode, so that if an error occurs it adds the line number and error number to the event log.
- If possible, check for an existing instance of a bot before loading it with the "bot launch" option.
- Add an option for whether the bot launch feature should load it in front of BG3, or behind BG3.
- Add a feature to customize text filters via a config file... where the "UB Disconnect Bug Fix" is just one example.
- Add auto-account creation on the latest FSGS standard server.
- HTML'ized readme and FAQ
- Add a Help button with context-sensitive help.

Known Issues:
- Some servers will not let you on with an actual game client when you're signed on via BG3. This may or may not be able to be worked around.
- BG3 doesn't like not having all its DLLs. Missing-dll info will be clarified in a future version.
- Under some conditions, right-clicking the Systray icon and selecting "Exit" doesn't work.
- When BG3 terminates abnormally, ports may be left open on the host computer. BG3 doesn't handle this situation correctly.
- You may receive an automation error when relistening after changing BGkey, or after auto bot launch. This is a VB problem and not something within our power to resolve.
- Error messages are not always clear.
