[...] How developed is 1.x these days anyway? I have been using it a few months, and have the check for updates section on in the prefs. I have not seen an update come along. Without asking the "when is 2" question that apparently is not a good question to ask :) how much more is coming along in 1.x?
1.x won’t see any real work, all resources are spent on 2.0, and I can confirm that it will have tabs (and file browser) available for all windows (there are no distinction between project and document windows, likewise the Find and Find in Project has also been unified), but generally I do not answer 2.0 questions because there are just soo many of them and I also do not want to entice people with features that I may eventually not end up delivering, as it is still work in progress.
Thanks for the tidbits. I really appreciate it. I understand why you want to limit time spent on answering 2.0 questions. One small suggestion I can offer, is to post little updates that it is coming along, even if that is all that is said.
There have been a handful of times where I have invested a lot of my time in learning something, or worse, code in a legacy language, assuming progress was being made. This mostly dates back to the OS 9 to OS X transitions days.
I sit with a lot of my time invested in products that never moved forward. Knowing that TM 2.0 is coming, is about all I would ever need to know to continue to use this version, knowing there is not going to be some awful day when I am forced to retrain my brain to a new editor, cause a new OS bump came out.
Just some food for thought. Not everyone is on the mailing list, and most I suspect just look at the website.
