Joshua,

Current plan is to have a true alpha release sometime early next year. I 
don't expect the graphics engine to change much, but the addition of the 
TeaTime collaboration object model/protocol and the new scripting 
architecture will have a dramatic impact on the nature of how you program 
for the system. If it looks like the release gets pushed out too much, we 
may have an interim release along the lines of the previous one.

Regards,

David
