No. We drive our customers crazy by not saying when stuff will be done
- we consider that preferable to either continually backing off on
promised dates, or to scrambling at the last minute to throw something
together just to release as promised. From what I can tell, people seem
to prefer it that way.

We're working as hard as possible on it - I wish I had a firm date in
mind whether I could tell you or not. Suffice it to say it will be as
soon as possible, and as soon as it's ready.
