QLab Pro currently features:

- Load Cue
- Reset Cue
- MIDI Voice Cue, which includes MIDI fades
- MIDI Show Control Cue
- the ability to control QLab Pro through external MIDI show control  
commands
- 16 output channels per sound

The 1.x series is likely to include:

- Pause Cue
- Video Cue
- Quartz Composer Cue
- Shell Script Cue
- even more output channels per sound
- ability to patch output channels per device
- Display customization, including font size for cue lists, as well  
as a "dark" mode that uses light text on a dark background
- other stuff not yet dreamed of in your philosophy, Horatio.


It's quite possible that as I add some of the above features to QLab  
Pro, I'd bump the price up a bit.  This would allow me to offer a low  
price at first, as a sort of "introductory offer", and then bring the  
price a little more in line with the feature set as I add these other  
features and make QLab Pro ever more distinct from the free version.   
This would give early adopters a really good deal.

And, as a little teaser, I'll just mention that *four* of the "future  
features" listed for 1.x above are almost complete already.  I'm not  
going to spoil the surprise and say which ones, though.  You can have  
fun guessing.  :)

Cheers,
