Do you mean the better paragraph breaking algorithm, using the whole paragraph rather than 
line-by-line?

I saw some discussion (or maybe just one message) on the developer's list about implementing the 
TeX line breaking algorithm, which does that. So it might be useful to check if such a request has 
already been issued.

Another thing that might help, to avoid the letterspacing, is to disable Tools > Options

lines with manual line breaks in justified paragraphs. Then a manual newline at the end of such an 
ugly line does not justify the line. 

But the best thing in my opinion (besides the TeX algorithm) would be if you could just switch off 
letter spacing completely. I hate it and I haven't found an option to disable it.
