The 2.0 betas were released well after the EOL announcement.

Well the post announcing the first beta was on 18/10/2001 and the EOL announcement was on 24/9/2001, less than one month prior. The beta was obviously in active development even before the EOL announcement. So what is wrong with my statement that the EOL announcement was around the same time the Beta was actively being developed? Its a moot point anyway as thats not the point I was trying to make. The point was that the EOL announcement stated software would be continued to be developed as it would be in the best interest of SBLU yadda yadda yadda.

I have faith that the next 2.0 beta will probably be stable enough to consider a final release. Whether or not they name it "beta" or "final" is going to be a different story.

I have no doubt that the next release would probably be stable enough to consider final. Some companies release buggier software as final year round (microsoft anyone?). However, based on what some people have said in this thread.. it seems very unlikely to me this is happening anytime soon, if ever.

In any case, I made sure to state, even in my last post that in the end it all doesn't matter as I could happily live without any further upgrades and that I can live with the few remaining bugs and still be more than happy with my purchase.

This leads me to ask what about the "Wish List" forum? Everyone keeps wishing for more features yet its not even sure when or even if the current feature set will see a stable release.
