Hi,

It is still a no-go. It will be implemented in version 0.3.

They've been added so I could test enumerated properties. As you can 
read in HISTORY.TXT, Width and Height combos were the source of a lot of 
bugs, because the underlying code is rather complex.

The expected behavior would be that the view window would change size as 
soon as you press Return, not when you start a new render.

I guess it should be considered as a bug if we were talking about 
version 1.0. As long as the size combos are clearly identified as "not 
functioning yet" in the manual, I'm alright with them staying as they 
are for now.

The number of updates is reverted to the default value when you change 
the render type because I felt it was logical to test a render before 
going for a longer render with less updates.
