I'm curious if parallax mapping is possible now, for that of course the heightmap is needed, is that already active and do i need to do something so i can use it or will that not be possible?

Simple answer: No.
and
Paralax mapping does not need any heighmap. It uses the normal map and the diffuse map in most engines.

There is provision for a _height texture in the renderer, the suffix _height is defined, but it doesnt do anything yet, lee put it in for future use.

I'll pass this to Preben or Lee when they're back from their hols - might not be the way they want to implement it but it works (uses height map):
