Brian, Just the public hints from Geoff, like “before the end of the year and hopefully earlier”. The fact that his V8 illustrated book update (not the manual) is coming out end Aug/early Sept does suggest that the project cannot be all that far off. There’s only around 4 months of the year left – assuming that one would wish to release in time for Christmas presents!

Lightfoot Sent: Thursday, August 01, 2013 9:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] ? about the new shared even feature Just curious but what leads you to believe that v8.0 is “so close”? As I understand it, there is no official release date. That could mean days, weeks, months, or even longer than a year. Or did I miss something about an expected target date?

Like all users, I am not in a position to know about the final construct of the database of V8.0 compared with V7.5, but in general, when a new version of any program is so close I would not recommend making significant changes to a current database. This is just my practise, sometimes I may as well have carried on, at others I have been very happy that I held back.
