I remember the version 7 release (although not at traumatized as some Legacy users). I do think that with the advancements by other genealogy programs (most recently Ancestral Quest and RootsMagic), it would be nice to have some general idea regarding a newer version of Legacy. I think we all know that something is in the works - It would not require a date certain and it would not require the list of features, but it would be nice to know if we can expect something in the near or far future OR if we should be looking at other programs.
I appreciate the great features in Legacy and realize that we have had some features that others are just now getting BUT there were some very interesting features introduced by others. I would like to know if Legacy is going in that direction or if I need to spend some time playing with other programs to get features that would be helpful to my research and publishing. There is a lot out there and we do know that these programs all try to provide the bells and whistles. I think this is a simple request - are significant improvements in the works or not? And if there is not "something concrete in the pipeline" now that pretty much answers my question.
