GpsPrune has generated a lot of feedback since its release, and some of this comes in the form of feature suggestions or requests. Most of these are made on the sourceforge forums, some on Github and some are made by email. This page attempts to list the major requests and their current status.
Note that this list doesn't include the many requests for clarification, or suggestions of features which were already present or under development, and doesn't include bug reports and help requests.
