A new colour selection dialog is being made for Moonlight|3D. The current one, which is the default Qt colour selection dialog, lacks some important features like support for alpha values in colours. This new dialog still requires some finishing touches, but if you are curious you are welcome to try it out. It is available as a part of the recent nightly builds.
The mesh data structure is progressing, but more slowly than initially expected because debugging is harder than we anticipated. The changes to that code are many, complex, and run deep, so many things got broken in complicated ways. This will also delay the release of version 0.2.0 for several weeks at least. My personal guess is that it will not be ready before the end of April, despite the more optimistic comments in the last progress report.
The development of animation features has been frozen because of this, too. At the current stage, keyframe editing is about to be added to the property editor view. But with the focus having shifted towards the mesh data structure for now, this will only be picked up again after the mesh is at least mostly fixed.
However, despite all this trouble we will not cut any features that we planned for Moonlight|3D 0.2.0. You will just have to be patient with us.
