I guess first, rich text will be implemented, then any opendocument format 
supported by KOfice as well. This is one of the points of KOffice integration
described here http://conference2005.kde.org/slides/kexi/kexi.html

Only static images are supported at the moment, what means binding data source 
to them is not ready yet.

Will be checked soon.

Backtraces are not very large, so you can send them here.

Maybe you can guess from looking at commits? http://kstuff.org/commitfilter/ 
can help (now it's offline though).

I'll try ask (myself and other devs) to post a short news about finished 
larger task being available in SVN. Anyway, I guess these posts will be rather 
targeted to kexi-devel at kde.org mailing list.
