Nobody demands you to add things like voice chat (not very useful in my opinion anyway), that is indeed a large feature to implement, with many caveats and issues that would need to be considered along the way. Something the community would be better at doing. But there are some minor things, like client bugs, server bugs, some visual features etc. which (to my knowledge) wouldn't be so hard to implement. Any step in the development is always appreciated (as evident from the views this has gathered when you said 0.3.9), no matter how small it may seem.

I was surprised when I found out SA-MP 0.1 allowed colored player markers/arrows above their heads. Why not colored objective markers above players/vehicles/actors, colored checkpoints etc. I know you may not necessarily want them or find a use for such a minor feature like this, but somewhere someone would, and there is no harm in allowing them to do so. They would still look better than the enex objects added by SA-MP.

That may be a necessity when running an already established server, but when you want to promote your new server (and people still do launch new servers regardless of what you believe), you have to have distinct features. A new (especially visual or functional) feature in SA-MP helps that a lot, as your server will then look more updated and fresh than the others.

One thing we haven't yet discussed, which is common to both topics of version reunting and anticheat, is SendClientCheck. On 0.3.DL, you can use it to calculate hashes from client-side memory ranges, which has led many servers to discover better means to protect against prohibited software. Why should this feature be restricted to 0.3.DL only, if you want to give better anticheat protection to server owners?
