Bibble Labs posted on their forums that the release of v5, originally scheduled to be released by the end of this month, isn't going to make it by their deadline. (See original post here.) They have stated that they will have a "public preview version" available no later than the end of January, 2009. (Is that the same as a 'beta' version? hmmmm.....)
While obviously disappointing, especially to us linux users (who have limited commercial options anyway!) it does have a silver lining - unlike some other software companies, Eric and his team at Bibble are commited to delivering top quality software - not just meeting an arbitrary release date.
The timing is interesting too - WPPI is scheduled for the week of Feburary 14, just 2 weeks after their planned public preview. Definitely good timing, get a buzz going right before one of the largest conventions of their target market!
For now, I hope they are taking a well deserved break for the holidays, and ready to rock it after the first of the year. I've chatted with Eric, Jeff, Colleen, and others there at Bibble labs, and I support their efforts 100%. My v4 still works great, and hopefully we'll be talking with them before the WPPI convention.
Happy Holidays everyone!
