New beta version will be released in 1-2 month. It will have major new features: diff pair support, ODB++ export, Gerber X2 support and (if we have time) customizable hot keys. In any case, cutomizable hot keys will be in stable release.
The new beta will have also some minor improvements and bug fixes. But we don't plan teardrops and significant UI changes.

We don't plan to optimize search in libraries for the beta version.

Diff pair feature has taken too much time therefore we haven't done teardrops and many other useful features. They will be considered for the future.

Diff pair feature means an interactive push-and-shove routing too?

No, diff pairs and interactive push-shove routing are different things. We are making the first tool.

I think if a subscription version was offered it would bring more stable income to the team and more work could be done. the program seems to improve so slowly. The autorouter could do with a lot of work

I second this notion! Diptrace is a great tool! I wouldn't have an issue at all with a subscription fee. Even if the update rate wasn't affected by the subscription model, I would feel more comfortable knowing that the team's financial stability was augmented (and hence Diptrace is always being improved and will be around for a long time!).
