Retainers and their Jobs and Add-ons

Back in September I think it was. Yoshi stated a few items would be added with 3.1, all but number 1 and 3 have been added.

1. The anticipated Add-On API is currently expected to launch during the Patch 3.1 Timeframe
2. TP Bars will be viewable on the Party List for your party members
3. You will now be able to assign your Retainers to Jobs, rather than Classes. This will allow you to give them Job-locked Equipment, and will include access to Heavensward's new Jobs.
4. Free Companies will be able to change their names
5. The 'Housemate' system will be added for Personal Housing owners, letting you share housing features with friends.
6. The Vanu Vanu's dance will be added as a new emote
7. Afro Hairstyle!

So I have 2 questions:

1. Do we have an ETA on the other 2?
2. For setting the retainers to the Jobs will we have to
   1. Re-level them.
   2. Will there be a one time option to change the existing class to its corresponding job.
   3. Something I have not thought of.

My biggest question for Classes V Jobs is will we get an extra Soul Gem for the Retainers or if we have to give them ours. If we have to give ours up there better be something really good to be gotten as a Job...

And we've been waiting on Add-Ons since 2.0. Stiiill waiting...

Given their budget and time constraints, as well as constantly working on bug fixes and other new content, I'm honestly just impressed that they've managed to implement so many of the objects from that list.....
