Thanks for the reply. Being a software developer myself, I DO understand how complex it can be to rewrite something from scratch while adding new features. But having at least some kind of rough estimate for the next update would let me better decide whether I should go back to TP7 for now, or stick it out with TP8.
Technically, there was nothing in TP8 that I absolutely need. I mostly upgraded because it was supposed to be faster, and because I wanted to support Cerious, after using and liking TP7 for years. So reverting to TP7 for a while won't kill me. But I'm also not going to be able to convince any of my friends to try it if I'm personally not using it, either.
Anyway, mostly I'm just hoping we can get at least a rough idea of when another update will be out, and maybe some general ideas of what's being targeted for fixing.
