Now that you are thinking about Version 9 (or 8.1?) it would be nice to have a view option to view the board from the back (reverse view) and another to make the board opaque (I.E. to hide all the layers behind the board).
Also could you please have a push to sort out some of the rendering bugs?
I've just confirmed the copper pour layer order bug is still there (pour copper with areas on both board sides and it shows the back copper over the front until you change the zoom whereupon it redraws with the layers in the right order.
And I've also confirmed that the worst doozey is still there - the "via shuffle"! Start with a via embedded in a copper pour area. Clear the copper and make certain changes to the tracks leading into the via. Now re-pour the copper and it omits to leave clearance round the via. This is not just a rendering bug because a Design Rules Check will find it. To fix it, you have to shuffle the via off position and back again and then re-pour the copper.
