I agree with you Ernest, they keep saying .. it will be fine, RC5 will be soon, 1.0 will be soon... which is annoying they are keeping the expectations so high, keep promising... so stupid (imho)
I don't think giving a road map is a right thing to do... Roadmap, will harm, rush their working schedule as did....
All software developers gone through the same stage and learned... I believe next limit will learn the same policy.. ...."it will be released when it is done"
Look at vray last two years 1.5 will come, even though they said this FALL 2005 at sigraph.. still nothing...
Check Splutterfish, they said it Brazil 2.0 release Fall 2005. Now they say, it will be released whenever it will be....
Same as CEBAS final render....
