Best answer

The previous roadmap is mostly still valid. The only thing that didn't make it into 1.7 was:

More flexible custom HTML areas (widgets), and allowing widget plugins to be placed on page plugins.

And I still intend to implement the ones for 1.8:

An improved Notifications system: post replies, wall posts, PMs for each user will be more visible on-site (e.g. an icon/number like Facebook/Reddit/Stack Exchange).
More control over which pages are displayed (e.g. completely turning off the Users page), and ordering of menu items.
Comment voting.
Allow user to sort answers by votes/time.
Page caching.

Three new features have already been implemented (first 2 by pupi1985):

Number formatting characters (decimal point, thousands separator) can be specified in language files.
Numbers (for votes, views etc) can be compacted e.g. 1.3k instead of 1300.
Switch to schema.org microdata.

A few more minor coding things that may also be implemented:

Use AJAX for closing questions.
Confirmation dialog when navigating away from the current page while writing a question/answer.
Convert the category widget into a real widget plugin.
Change REPLACE queries with INSERT... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
