Specially intrigued about "Added option to draw Sharp Edges in the “Mesh Tools 1″ panel."

An autosmooth, tho seems is an actual split, while I wanted it manual, and not breaking themesh, but seem to be a nicer workaround for now

...autosmooth as it was in blender, never did convince me. Seems this could be quite better than today's P (separate selected)
But i have my hopes a just manual-selecting-hard-edge-non breaking is in the works.
hmm..Something in the line, but surely still breaking mesh..:
"Continued work on the Autosmooth modifier, adding support for user-defined sharp edges and non-manifold meshes.."
Uber cool anyway.
I'll personally play with this :

I'd love to have the time to guess what this makes.. :

...way a lot more. Just that for my game needs, I'm (now that rigging has got really powerful know The Ways...)specially interested in:
-manual sharp edges (vertex normals) setting, with no mesh breaking. (if it's impossible for blender internals, still every imrpove made is nice)
-LIGHTMAPS.... It'd sincerelly rock to lightmap right in blender, even if only baking to chanel UV 1, and the mess ourselves a bit with engines loaders/tools... to build the levels... (ie, obj2MIM, grabbed to OBjs each with the UV channel and texture needed to build a final lightmapped to UV channel file...) I have an strong suspect we're gonna have this soon..
-Multiple UVs (at least two) With the obvious idea of exporting the lightmap already textured out of blender. Of course, if there's support for 4 UVs, for example, you can even: do like terrain or walls alpha mapped overlays, generate lightmaps in other channel, etc, etc...And bang, hit export and have such a rocking game level in your engine...
