Chuq wrote a little about Aperture today and points out that it's been a year that Aperture has basically sat still, not moving. He links to an article from nearly a year ago that mentions things like auto HDR and panorama stitching, the use of Photoshop filters, and possibly licensing glass filters as effects in Aperture.

Aside from the bugs I hope Apple fixes, my wishlist remains the same: improved performance, an API for plugins, improved stack handling, an improved spot/stamp/clone tool, something like Lightroom's "Targeted Adjustment Tool," something like Lightroom's "Sync" feature, background tasks, and masking of some sort. I could probably throw in Chuq's suggestions re: keywords, too.
