This is helpful as many of us buy ancillary programs that work with the current Legacy version. If a new one is coming, we may hold off buying until the ancillary program will work with the new Legacy. Wish there were a way to run two versions of Legacy, because then one could still use the ancillary programs until those have a version to work with a new Legacy version. Sadly, once you convert your data to a new version, even an update, it no longer works with the previous version or prior update. That means entering new data twice, once in the older version and once in the newer version, assuming one could have two version on one's computer at the same time.

Yes, we've got a lot of great things coming. No, I'm not going to give any hint of a timeline. We've learned from that. Programmers are working 18 hours days right now for us. They've been stuck on properly implementing a major new feature, but it's getting there. I'm excited about Legacy's future and feel you will be too.

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.
