Last I heard, I thought we were getting ready to announce the much anticipated
details of our upgrade. However, you might guess it's a collective process. I'm
the lucky person who get's to stake his name to the final edition and send
it out.
Here's some advice at no charge for those trying to determine, do I buy
now, do I
wait so I can get an upgrade to 4.0.x (3.0 hasn't even hit yet). Please
don't try
determine future upgrades by what has happened in the past or by what will
happen
with 3.0. It will make you crazy.
