Do freeBayes and platypus support gVCF?

With GATK you used to have the 1000 + 1 genome variant calling problem, where you had to redo the whole expensive multi-sample variant calling (gatk haplotype caller) if you wanted to add a single genome.

Now GATK Haplotype caller can create intermediate gVCF files for each sample and do a much less expensive merging of the gVCF files to a multi-sample vcf.

Do freeBayes and and platypus also support this or are they planning to support this?
Basic support for gVCF has been added to Freebayes just this weekend. More support for gVCF will be added in the future.....

There are some inherent problems with gVCF and complex multi-allelic variant sites. For just snps it should work:

See also this issue at the Freebayes github site, the last comment is the update from Erik stating the (upcoming) gVCF support.
