Are or will there be new tools in version 4?

Hi Mike, I do expect to have some. But the major thing v4 is focused on is transitioning to 64-bit and a Mac native build.

Also there's a collection of what's new in V4 so far here:

Hi Michael,

On several occasions you have mentioned that some form of dimension tool might make it into the V4 release. Is this still in play?

Dan

Hi Dan, yes I still intend to work on dimensioning in v4. It will probably be at a fairly rudimentary level though.

Hi Michael,

Is instancing still in the plans for V4?

Hi Chipp, I'm sorry but no I'm going to have to push instancing to a future release, it won't make it in for v4. It's just taken too long for the dust to settle down from the big rewrite to get 64-bit and the Mac native build.

Sorry to jump on the thread, but is there a more up to date ETA for V4? I'm considering buying a license but since V4 is apparently coming in the next few months I'd rather avoid having to upgrade from V3 only after a short time.

Thanks!

Hi mrninja13, I don't have a fixed release date yet other than that I expect the final version to be done before the end of this year.
