What are the sort of things that the playerbase can expect from the next Sauerbraten update? Gamemodes, user interfaces, or graphical updates?

I thought Sauer Enhanced had this.

Besides of that, even bullets could give some sound when they pass right next to you.

Nah, SE just played a sound if player was next to a bullet trail, there was no doppler on that.

You can create an illusion it does that, it just depends on the soundtrack.

Ya, but that's totally different thing. We're talking about actual doppler effect addition to the sound engine not the soundtrack.

I wouldn't see any purpose for it if you put the situation that way.
It's not like playermodels (neither monsters) are moving around with a constant sound (like footsteps for example).
To add such feature to explosives is also a waste of time and energy, as you could get the same result with my idea.

It's almost two years past since the last update. Is there at least any future list planned for the next update or any release schedule?

There will be a release some time this year, when exactly I haven't planned, but this year.

See svn changelog to get a summary of some of what has happened in development since last release:

Better to have 1 huge major update (like some years), than a small update every period (like a season).

#296: Depth of field

The only thing I would really like to see added is depth of field, other than that the game is perfect!

I'd rather want fully dynamic lighting with HDR rendering and shit.
Oh wait...

Where things far away are "out of focus". Most people would probably leave it off for high speed multiplayer (as depth of field reduces accuracy), but I think it would be a nice option to have.

It's quite overhyped and very difficult to get right (i.e. noticeable, but not annoying). I doubt it'd be worth it.

DoF - advanced sonyblur for their interactive movies.
HDR (not this technology itself, but how gamedesigners usually see it) - sonyoverexposure for their interactive movies.
So, it will be necessary only if you're porting Sauer to PS3.

You can see HDR working in Tesseract

It's HDR, but not the 1337er sonyoverexposure tech. :(

... you mean field of view. There's no such thing as depth of field.
