Re: latest news on v5?

 

I apologize for not replying sooner but I've been really swamped at work
and summer isn't the best time of the year for me to get work done.  I'm
still hoping to get version 5 out before the end of the summer although
at this point it's looking unlikely.  I'm getting close to finishing the
symbol library table configuration wizard.  Once that's done, I'll use
the symbol library table ID to access symbols.  Once this code is
stable, I will announce a last call before we branch version 5 to start
preparing for the release.

Cheers,

Wayne
