OK, here is my update. Although the SVN repository hasn't seen any 3D box related change form my part for a while, this doesn't mean that development is stagnating. On the contrary, I'm currently overhauling the tool quite significantly under the hood. In the end, the regular user will be oblivious of most of these changes, but they are necessary to eliminate a couple of remaining bad bugs (not bed bugs :)) and to make the tool overall more stable, robust and extensible. The good news is that they will hopefully be generic enough to bring a lot more within reach than "only" 3D boxes.
Unfortunately, due to my final examinations my time is severely limited in the next couple of months. Still, I'm confident that December (which Bulia mentioned as a tentative closing deadline) is more than realistic to complete these changes. I'm hoping to do it much earlier but have learned to be careful in making predictions.
After this, I'd like to further improve usability by making perspective lines draggable, populating the toolbar a bit more, etc. This may well make it into the next release, too (and should, IMO).
A long-term goal (after all, there must be anything left to do after v0.46 :) ) is the support for more general 3D related functionality. Many proposals have been made on this list over time, and we'll have to see what is realizable. In any case, the current refactoring is supposed to provide the foundation for this, too.
