I'm curious... is there anywhere where one can find a "roadmap" or rough timeline of upcoming changes? Or a note on whether a given custom output request is "in" or out"?

I'd like to see a half-page or even quarter-page sheet for use with NPCs. I envision having something I can print two NPCs to a page with one on top and the other on the bottom and then cut the page in half to make two sheets. Sort of like oversized index cards (I first thought of 4x6 index cards, to be honest).
The idea being to have something more compact than a normal sheet but more readable (to me) than a statblock for tracking important NPCs.
Or have I just missed something like this which is already in existence?

We were hoping to have made some updates by now, but the mac version has been taking up all my time recently.
Once we have the official mac release done, we're planning to come back and make some improvements to custom output.Bug in the XML output
The tag Class is blank for both wizard school spells and cleric domain spells. It's very hard to tell in a custom output XSL which is which. If I have a cleric wizard, then my spells display either in both lists or none... or just one if one of the classes is higher level than the other.
Can the class say something like "school" or "domain" instead of just being blank? Normally, they say Wizard or Cleric...

Don't forget custom containers, or magic containers... Portable holes, haversacks, quivers.

At the risk of being a pest... any update on this?
Like to know as well.. sorry if it is a pestering thing as it is not meant to be rather then a curiosity?

Here's a new custom output request for you...
Currently, the output.xml file allows custom sheet developers to specify that character images be generated as files or not at all. I propose a third option: allow the character images to be embedded inside the .xml file as base64-encoded strings.
This would allow us to create fully self-contained custom character sheets, eliminating the possibility of a character image becoming "lost" when the sheet is moved around.

Could not find sourcebook info on DTD
I am working on a custom output and I wantto reference Paizo´s sourcebooks where particular equipment, spells, traits, etc como from. I know the info is inside HL but the Pathfinder DTD does not include such info, and therefore it is not exported to the xml. How can I access it?
Thanks for any help.

There is an Ipad app called "DM Tools" that uses the following format. the app is not perfect but it is the best thing i've found so far. It is a full tactical Ipad app that remembers Initiative, Conditions, Bonuses and even hit points. I'm getting bored having to manually enter updates and new monsters into it.
I would love a custom output in this format:

Custom Output Question
I am tinkering with some ideas using Custom Output from Pathfinder characters and I have a quick question.
I noticed that the "Summary Text" for spells is not in the custom output. The full description is there. The summary text would be the brief text description (like what shows up on the "Spells - Summaries" dossier.)
Is there something I am missing to get these in the output XML or is it just absent?
If it is just absent, how would I submit a feature request to have it included?
Thank you for your time.

It's just absent, and you just did.
Thanks. I realized that once I saw the moderator put my post in this thread.

Special Ability elements missing from XML output
Hi Guys,
Like Drue over in the HL - Savage Worlds forum, I've noticed that the Special Abilities data that appears in the Hero Statblock output isn't appearing in the Custom Output XML file.
Just thought I'd let you know.
(I'd post a link, but I haven't posted before and I'm running into the old 'To be able to post links or images your post count must be 1 or greater' issue.
The thread ID is 19959, if that helps.
Cheers.
