V2 - Long Wait?

Hi, i was just checking the wishlist again -

Component Grouping / Subroutines. (Planned, high priority, likely to be in v2.0)

Thats the main thing im waiting for at the moment, that way i can build up a collection of modules and quickly apply fx, rotation, color mods really fast and i think it would make things a whole lot easier for me, so yeah back on topic im just wondering is V2 going to be a huge wait do you think?

No hard dates of course, but 2008 seems to be more likely to me. The percieved "rate" dropped since we don't need to shell out new minor versions so often now that most of show-stopping bugs are fixed, most annoying problems addressed and even some features added. Please note that I'm in no way stating that FF is perfect, but I consider it's "good enough" to concentrate on bringing on new major features (Mac, V2, etc.) instead of doing a lot of little fixes here and there.

Also, some things in Mac/V2 go in parallel, so it might be possible that Mac version will be something like 1.5 or so feature-wise.

P.S. usual disclaimer applies: do not interpret this message as an official statement

and i second dilla's sentiments on a V 1.5. i think you'd see a general strike with torches and pitchforks if mac 1.5 came out and pc 1.5 was nowhere in sight!

I promise to return full time when v2 comes out.
