Glowforge Features promised / delivered

It’s been a long time since I ordered and there have been a ton of features talked about with the Glowforge. Is there a list somewhere of what was promised and where the product is currently? I tend to lurk on the forum, and don’t see every post.

My understanding is the following are not implemented (Please Correct If Inaccurate!):

  • Tracking of two sided cuts/engraves
  • Tracking of larger than single job projects (pro passthrough)
  • Continuous autofocus up to .5"
  • Use of the full workspace size
  • Camera accuracy
  • Support DXF files
  • Illustrator Plugin
  • Air Filters
  • Kerf compensation
  • Automatic tab slot correction for material thickness
  • Visually recognising common objects like smartphones and having pre-defined settings.
  • Recognizing corners and not over burning them
  • Multi pass 3D engraving
  • Large job buffering
  • Adding all catalog items advertised on the Glowforge.com website to the design catalog

Delivered:

  • Basic Units
  • Pro Units
    • Higher watt cutting
    • Advanced cooling
    • Laser Safety Locks, Glasses and Training
  • Warranties
  • ProofGrade Materials
  • Design shop
  • Variable Power Settings

Any other promised/delivered features you guys can think of? If possible link to where it was talked about by @dan or @glowforge team. Thanks!
