Road map
Version 2.0
Starting with version 2.0, Writer2LaTeX will change focus. Previous versions were a collection of export filters. Starting with version 2.0 Writer2LaTeX will focus on LaTeX only with a broader goal of creating a frontend for authoring and publishing documents to LaTeX/BibTeX.
Most of the new functionality has been implemented with version 1.9.9 beta.
Removal of support for HTML-formats and EPUB
Support for HTML-formats and EPUB will be removed from Writer2LaTeX 2.0 onwards. This functionality will still be maintained in the separate application Writer2xhtml. Read more.

Better support for XeTeX, including support for fontspec.sty , unicode-math.sty and mathspec.sty
