That's all you asked for?

What about better management of memory variables?
What about a server console that doesn't lose its connection with the server frequently?
What about script control of layout objects?
What about scripting in a text editor?
What about script control of schema modifications?
What about syncing between an FMGo app and the server for intermittent connections?
What about better scalability of Server? 

I could go on and on...

Honestly, FM12 will be loaded with surprises, and--if history is any guide--it'll be chock full of stuff for the users and not so much for us developers.
