The roadmap changed a bit by the switch from BambuStudio forking to PrusaSlicer, but.... It is going very well and is quickly going to be production ready. Beta1 has been postponed till next week, but there is a new alpha, alpha4

A lot of features are in alpha4, i will name the main ones, and report all in the release notes.

Z Hop ala 'spiral upward' support (thanks to BambuStudio), handy for travel-rich models like geometrical skeletons; solves stringing
Arc overhang infill to print overhangs without support, with by default small pillars on edges, can be both organic or grid/snug type
Pedestal-based spiral type infill, good for printing fullcontrol.xyz stuff with a pedestal/pillar instead of a bridge edge
Overhang support margin settings, to pick if none/edges/..mm of the overhangs will be supported
Support fallback enabler that will use the other support type (grid in case of organic) if none was generated for an object
Basic mixing extruder support, using this option as extruder setting lets you pick unlimited colors to paint with and handles the gcode command for mixing in the background
Color picker called colorgrab that lets you pick colors from the screen and save them into a palette

A peek of what beta1 brings in sense of supports and overhang printing: overhang settings for both organic and grid support (Low,Med,High) and an option to fall back onto the other as secondary support type.

Both:

That's it for alpha4, just as a small goodie of what will be released in the coming beta (beta1) among other things:

wipe into supports (also combine-able with wipe into infill or object), see image below
mixing extruder calibration
klipper support
per-object overhang setting
small optimizations like better pedestal picking, an auto z-hop enabler
