Me too :) I've been testing the alpha for two weeks and have been very
happy with it (like many others it seems). I'm currently on r33294,
still doing well :)

I've got a few unfinished changes locally on my branch, namely a
modularization of the pose layouting system. I stopped working on the
branch a few weeks before the alpha and have been doing my best to test
and polish the release.
I'm now experimenting a new approach (from scratch), a very abstracted
(and lite) poseview in a separate test app to accelerate the
development of new ideas. It's ridiculously small, and looks very
promising to me. While a necessary learning experience, working on the
old tracker code is really slowing me down at this level of changes and
i feel it is the latest days of the good old codebase (well poseview at
least).
Concerning the current status, appart from a few crashing tickets that
i've been trying to tackle for a few months, knowing all the bugs that
have been fixed (and many present since the r5 era), i objectively
think it is in a very decent shape (on this revision at least ;)
Probably a few last fixes are in order, but i'm starting to think that
soon will be the moment to say "OpenTracker, so long, and thanks for
all the fish!"
Best regards,
Alex
