Here's what I'd like to see done before the next release.

* exceptions paper and strategies for implementing handlers
* limit check coalescing
* fix Henry's bug
* calling SML from C
* gmp3
* anonymous CVS access
* cvsweb

Unfortunately, I'd say this makes the release still a few months out.

Here's some lower priority stuff, but near the top.

* rework object headers to allow large arrays
* known-case optimization
* overflow detection elimination
* bounds check elimination
* stuff to help Anoq with the crosscompiler
* hacker guide

I'd be interested to hear other people's thoughts on priorities.
