It's time to work on the 16th major version since Open Beta launch. 16 is one of my lucky numbers... So maybe we'll sell a million copies when it's launched or something! 
(Although I'm more likely to be sued or something ~,~)
For 1.16 I plan on finishing the Linux port, an integrated text tutorial system, and a revised racing system. As well as minor suggestions, bug fixes, and performance tweaks I can do between minor versions.
As always:
+ means it has been added to the latest default branch.
- means it has not been added to latest default branch.
