Over the last couple of days, I've been doing quite a bit of hacking on Padre.
Apart from fixing random things that annoy me and rearranging menus, I've been concentrating most of my time on the new Padre::Document classes and using the document model to start on PPI integration.
The result is a bit (ok, very) rough at the moment, but I'm starting to land the first interesting features.
So in the next release, Padre should have a "Perl" menu that contains not only the existing Run menu entries, but new and actually-useful things like "Find that annoying unmatched brace that I can't see" and (if I have time) "Find that annoying unterminated quote that I can't see".
As usual, progress on Padre is continuous and the design is in flux, but in the next couple of versions I think we're really going to start to see Padre move past being a Notepad replacement and also act as a vehicle for a variety of handy PPI-based queries, transforms and other functionality (at least on a file by file basis).
At which point Padre becomes the editor you briefly switch over to do some things you can't do in your normal editor.
Which is at least a start towards world domination :)
Is there a roadmap or todo list for upcoming features?

Padre v0.09 is on its way to CPAN and a linux executable can be found in the download folderAs of roadmap. We have a bunch of tickets on our web site but we don't have an exact order or schedule of what we are implementing when.

At the moment, mostly it seems to be Gabor and I scratching our various itches in parallel as fast as possible, with releases made at stable points when nothing particularly large is broken.
