i finished the pt3-trial and now i have 20 days left in the hm2-trial. on february i must decide. does anybody know the month of the pt4-release?
and is it allowed to make a new trial with the new tracker?

The release date for PT4 hasn't been finalized yet - we will release it when it is ready, and not before. Before the commercial release there will be a period of open beta testing where anyone can try PT4, but there is no date for this yet either. We're not in a race - we're trying to make sure that we produce the best tracker possible for you, so we're not rushing to release (although we're working flat out to get there as soon as possible).

what? you won't release it when it isn't ready and not before? :D :D :D

but thank you for: "there is no date for this yet either" -> sounds like 2013 or 2014.

If it's not out before 2013, I'll eat my hat.

We're not going to pin down a particular date because we need to make certain that everything is working properly - most things currently are but there are still some issues that need resolving, then testing before PT4 is ready for the whole world.

hm, okay, thanks. I even wanted to know a nearly period of time - not the day of release. hm2 nerves a little, but I also dont wanna play with pt3 till december for seeing you eating a hat. :P

[kraada]

If I had a period to give you I would. But we really are getting there - we just need time to iron out some kinks. We would rather release a few days (or even weeks) later smoothly than release it now and have serious problems that make for an unpleasant experience for a number of users.

well, and i dont want to irritate you with secret questions. but plz understand i dont wanna buy a pig in a poke. maybe i have to talk to pt4-tester to convince myself of buying pt3. thx 4 the trouble. ;)
