Here is what I am planning for the next release:

• Better decoding of the ECU info that is read from the ECU.
• Tool tips explaining what different operations do, and why buttons are disabled.
• Support for using the premium fast flashing feature that allows you to flash in about 40 seconds.

Shortly after that I will be working on:

• Adding a new premium feature for unlocking ECUs that prevent reading the flash memory.
• Adding a new premium feature for correcting checksums. This first release will only support specific 2.7T ECU flash files, and will not be a generic ME7 checksum correction tool.

Version 1.6.0.0 is out: http://www.nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=254.0

Now with:
-Fast init and slow init connection methods
-Slow init connection bug fixes
-New validate memory layout operation
-New check if ECU matches operation
-Now stays connected between operations
-User selectable baud rate
-New status bar

This is what I have been working lately and will be in the next release:

• Support for selecting slow init and fast init connection methods.
• Explicit connect and disconnect operations so you can stay connected between operations.
• Support for checking if the ECU flash matches the file to flash on your PC.
• Support for validating the address range of the ECU flash memory against the selected memory layout.
• More log and status messages to help explain what is happening.
• More connection and communication bug fixes.

Hopefully this will help out with some of the usability issues that come up when flashing your ECU. I will hopefully be finished this release sometime in the next week.

After this I am planning on adding in support better decoding of the ECU identification info and flash status. I will also be adding in a few premium features such as fast flashing, and hopefully ECU reading that bypasses tuner protection mechanisms.
